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 Reviews: What are patients saying about Budesonide?

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.

Budesonide for Ulcerated Colon
This is the only medication I've found that provides relief from my ulcerative colitis.

Budesonide for Ulcerated Colon
I've been on this medication for about 10 months now for my ulcerative colitis. I feel much better, especially in the last two months.

Budesonide for Ulcerated Colon
It's effective, but you should know that it's possible to gain weight while taking this medication and doing exercise regularly. It's also quite expensive.

Budesonide for Crohn's Disease Maintenance of Remission
I always feel great after taking this drug, but it is a bit of an inconvenience to have to take three large pills in the morning.

Budesonide for Ulcerated Colon
This medicine finally stopped my diarrhea after other treatments failed. However, I've been having some difficulty breathing and panic attacks since starting this medication.
4Patient Review
7/12/2022
Budesonide for Collagenous Colitis
I've only been taking this for two weeks, but it's already done wonders for my healing process. I had a polyp removal and hemorrhoidectomy recently, and the diarrhea was out of control. This medication really helped me get things back under control within just a couple days. I am a bit more tired now, but it's worth it to me since the alternative is so much worse.
3.7Patient Review
12/21/2018
Budesonide for Crohn's Disease
I've only been taking this medication for a short while, but I'm already wondering how long it will take to see results. Has anyone else out there achieved remission and how long did it take?
1.7Patient Review

Budesonide for Crohn's Disease
Unfortunately, I couldn't tolerate this medication well. I experienced shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat, excessive fatigue, and vision and balance problems.

Budesonide for Crohn's Disease
I've been on this medication for Crohn's disease for a little while now, and it unfortunately has not worked at all. If anything, it seems to be making the symptoms worse rather than better.
