Budesonide is a glucocorticoid steroid for the treatment of asthma and non-infectious rhinitis (including hay fever and other allergies), and for treatment and prevention of nasal polyposis. In addition, it is used for Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease).

It is marketed by AstraZeneca as a nasal inhalant under the brand name Rhinocort (in Denmark, as Rhinosol), as an oral inhalant under the brand name Pulmicort (in Israel, Budicort), and as either an enema or a modified-release oral capsule under the brand name Entocort. It is also sold in combination with formoterol (Oxis) in a single inhaler, under the brand name Symbicort. In Brazil it is marketed by Eurofarma under the brand name Noex. Entocort EC is an oral capsule marketed in the United States by Prometheus Laboratories. Entocort is an expensive drug, costing between 800US and 1500US.

A new formulation is in clinical trials for ulcerative colitis.

2.17 min. | 0 user rating		 I'm very often asked exactly how we mix and give Cole's budesonide slurry. This is how we do it. There are many variations. For some patients, sucralose is not the preferred medium, thus, other options can be employed. For some patients, this steroid is all that is required to manage EoE, however most require diet modifications, which can be done with or without the added steroid. Some patients require the removal of all food and survive on an elemental formula. This video is not medical advice, just an example of what works for our family. Please consult your physician to discuss treatment options for you or your child. For more information on Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders, visit www.apfed.org or www.curedfoundation.org.
