Budesonide

BUDESONIDE 

Overview:

Budesonide is a corticosteroid that eases swelling, aiding in the management of asthma, hay fever, and digestive disorders such as Crohn’s disease.It tells the immune system to calm down, easing swelling and irritation. Most people tolerate it well, but follow instructions and don’t stop suddenly.

Classification:Corticosteroid

Uses:

Budesonide is a medicine that helps reduce swelling and irritation in the body. It’s used for breathing problems like asthma and COPD, nose issues like allergies and nasal polyps, and gut problems like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It can also be given in special forms to treat inflammation in the lower bowel.

How it works:

Budesonide works by telling the body’s immune system to “cool down” when it’s overreacting. It slips into cells and changes the signals that make inflammation-causing chemicals, which helps reduce swelling, redness, and irritation. Because it’s designed to act mostly where it’s needed—like the lungs, nose, or gut—it often causes fewer whole-body side effects than some other steroids.

Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Sore throat or cough
• Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth)
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Mild headache

Precautions:

Budesonide can weaken your immunity, so avoid people with infections like chickenpox or measles, and don’t stop it suddenly if used long-term. Rinse your mouth after inhaling to prevent thrush, and tell your doctor if you have liver, eye, bone, or stomach issues. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if advised, and monitor children’s growth with long-term use.
