A member asked:

Air travel with pulmicort vials on checked bag. vials were heavily shaken and not held upright. did this damage the effectiveness of the medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine!: As long as the vials are not leaking, punctured or opened in any way, the medication should work as intended without adverse event.
