NCT00642161

Brief Summary

A comparison of the safety, efficacy and budesonide pharmacokinetics of the currently approved Pulmicort Turbuhaler with a new version of the inhaler, in children and adolescents who have asthma. In addition the study evaluated the functionality of the new inhaler at the end of its intended life.
