Budesonide is a glucocorticoid steroid for the treatment of asthma, non-infectious rhinitis (including hay fever and other allergies), and for treatment and prevention of nasal polyposis. Additionally, 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, 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's marketed by Eurofarma under the brand name Noex. PharmacologyBudesonide has a high first pass metabolism. It has efficacy in the terminal ileum and the right colon. Budesonide in comparison with prednisolone has been associated with fewer bone density losses and unlike other corticosteroids has little influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis which also limits the need of tapering before discontinuation. Overall, it has a lower incidence of systemic manifestations than similar medications. From Wikipedia under the

Thanks Asked by Irish - Sun May 10 07:23:20 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments 10 month old coughing!!! Please help!!? Q. Hello, good morning :) Aiden woke up coughing really bad with a dry cough and is wheezing. He has no fever. Started maybe because my nephew has been here since thursday last week because he is sick so since he doesn't go to school, we watch him :? My nephew went to the drs on Monday and my sister said the dr took xrays to check from pneumonia and he saw something so he prescribed him antibiotics. When I looked up symptoms for pneumonia, my son or nephew doesn't really have symptoms for it. :? They both have asthma. I really hope this (pneumonia)is NOT what my son is. About 4/5 months ago, Aiden had a cough and was wheezing... so our pedi prescribed him pro-air with a inhaler and albuterol and budesonide breathing… [cont.] Asked by Jessica Q - Wed Jun 3 07:29:26 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. My son is 10mths and his name is Aidan too!! Anyway, lol, i would give the inhalers as you deem necessary. did your doctor write an action plan for your to refer to at home? My daughter is asthmatic and she has an action plan we can look at to see what we should be doing but if at anytime you think his breathing is being threatened in anyway then take him straight to hosp or call an ambulance. Respitory distress is not a good thing. Watch the dip in his throat, make sure it is not being sucked right in with each breath. Check his pulse and if his heartrate is really going very very fast Check his tummy - look at the space on the sides of his belly just under his ribs. If that space is really getting sucked in with each breath or you… [cont.] Answered by Cindy; mum to 3 monkeys! - Wed Jun 3 07:55:11 2009 Is this medicine advisable for My 7 Yrs Old son?

The active ingredient in the capsule is Budesonide. The stabilizing agent is the dihydrate. IP means that it meets a certain standard but I'm only familiar with USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) standard. (I think IP is the Japanese standard) Anyways, Buedesonide is a steroid and it works by controlling the inflammation in the lungs that is limiting your child's breathing. First i'm going to explain why it is important to continue using this drug then I will go over the cautions. Budesonide takes a couple days before it actually starts working. It is not a rescue medication. Rescue medications include bronchodilators such as ventolin (salbutamol) but if you use those too much, you child can become tolerant to the drug (need more drug to… [cont.] Answered by Eggmcmuffin - Sun Aug 23 15:58:33 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Budesonide"
