Effectiveness
How Entocort Ec Affects PatientsBudesonide is a medicine used to treat breathing and digestive illnesses by reducing inflammation. It is generally considered to be a safe medicine, although the dose varies from person to person. Patients should be informed of the risk of increased cortisol levels and adrenal gland suppression when taking this medication.
How Entocort Ec works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce inflammation by preventing blood vessels from widening and restricting the movement of white blood cells. These drugs also affect gene expression, leading to anti-inflammatory proteins like interleukin-10. Low doses of corticosteroids work to reduce inflammation, while higher doses suppress the immune system. Long-term use of high doses of corticosteroids can raise sodium levels and decrease potassium levels in the body.
When to interrupt dosage
The recommended portion of Entocort Ec is ruled by the diagnosed condition, including Vasomotor Rhinitis, Crohn's Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Dosage is contingent upon the mode of administration (e.g. Enema; Kit; Tablet - Rectal or Respiratory (inhalation)) featured in the below table.Condition

Entocort Ec Toxicity & Overdose RiskIt is uncommon to overdose on corticosteroids, but taking too much for a long period of time can lead to high levels of the hormone in the body and a decrease in the body's ability to produce its own hormones. In case of an overdose, it is recommended to reduce the dosage of corticosteroids temporarily. A 200mg dose of corticosteroids is enough to be lethal for female mice, while 400mg is enough to be lethal for male mice.

Entocort Ec Reviews: What are patients saying about Entocort Ec?
5Patient Review
1/17/2015 I started taking this medication in July. Since then, I've noticed a significant amount of hair loss; even the minoxidil treatment I was using previously has been ineffective.
4.3Patient Review
12/5/2014 I was dealing with some serious abdominal pain before trying this treatment. I'm glad to say that it was very effective in alleviating my discomfort.
3.3Patient Review
9/9/2015 After struggling with diarrhea for seven months and losing a lot of weight, these meds have been a godsend. However, I experience several side effects like hair loss, easy bruising, and oral thrush. It's something I'll have to discuss with my gastroenterologist to see if the benefits outweigh the cost.
2.7Patient Review
12/23/2020 I'm on my third week of Entocort, and while it has helped with some things (like diarrhea), I've found that it's giving me really bad gas and making me moody. Overall, it's not been a great experience.
2.7Patient Review
9/26/2015 I've found that this medication works better if taken in the morning, as it can cause insomnia when taken at night. I also experienced higher blood pressure and anxiety levels while taking this; however, it was effective in treating my Crohn's disease.
