Effectiveness

How Budesonide Affects PatientsBudesonide is used to treat a variety of respiratory and digestive conditions by reducing inflammation. The amount of the drug varies from person to person, making it a safe drug. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risk of over-stimulating the body's hormones and causing suppression of the adrenal axis.
How Budesonide works in the bodyCorticosteroids are drugs that help reduce inflammation. They work by binding to a receptor in cells and altering gene expression, which leads to several changes in the body. These include stopping white blood cells from travelling to sites of inflammation, reducing the production of molecules that cause inflammation, and promoting molecules that reduce it. Depending on the dose, corticosteroids can either reduce inflammation or suppress the immune system. Long-term use of high-doses can also lead to higher sodium levels and lower potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended amount of Budesonide is contingent upon the diagnosed disorder, like Vasomotor Rhinitis, Crohn's Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Dosage can be found in the table underneath, contingent upon the mode of administration (e.g. Enema; Kit; Tablet - Rectal or Respiratory (inhalation)).

Budesonide Toxicity & Overdose RiskOverdosing on corticosteroids is not common, but taking them for long periods of time can lead to an excess amount of the hormone in the body (hypercorticism) and can stop the adrenal glands from functioning properly. If an overdose occurs, the dosage of corticosteroids should be reduced temporarily. In mice, it has been found that 200mg orally is lethal to female mice while 400mg orally is lethal to male mice.

Budesonide for Ulcerated Colon
I've been taking this medication for a while, but it has caused some serious side effects like skin thinning and vision problems. I might have to switch back to pentasa.

Budesonide for Collagenous Colitis
Worked great for my lympathic colitis, but unfortunately the diahrea came back a few weeks after I finished the regimen. Waiting to hear from my doctor about what to do next.

Budesonide for Crohn's Disease Maintenance of Remission
I've been on this drug for six years and it's worked great, but recently I've been feeling fatigue and a lack of energy for over twelve months now. Going to see if the doctor thinks it might be due to long-term use of this medication.
