Product Details

Entocort EC (Budesonide) is a steroid that used to treat certain bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Budesonide does not cure these conditions but it may decrease symptoms such as pain and diarrhea. Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines, especially the colon and ileum associated with ulcers and fistulae. However, inflammation can occur anywhere in the digestive system, from the mouth to the anus. Over time, the inflammation that is caused by Crohn’s disease can damage sections of the digestive system, causing additional complications, such as narrowing of the colon. This medications works by decreasing the body’s natural defense response.

Budesonide usually has fewer side effects than other corticosteroids because budesonide works in the gut and only small amounts are absorbed into the body. Nausea, heartburn, and headache may occur. The common side effects may include: bruising easily, flu like symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever, and chills), headache, heartburn. Etc. The serious side effects may include:

• Easy bruising/bleeding;
• Puffy face;
• Unusual hair growth;
• Vision problems

You should not take Entocort EC if you are allergic to Budesonide. Before you start taking this medication, talk to your doctor about the medical conditions and about all the medications they are currently taking including OTC and herbal medications. If you have been using this medication for a long time, it can make it more difficult for your body to respond to physical stress. If you are going to use this medication for a long time, you should carry a warning card or medical ID bracelet that identifies your use of this medication. Limit alcoholic beverages. Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. You should inform your doctor if you are planning to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding. This medication can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Entocort EC is not approved for use in adolescents and children.

Questions and Answers

1. Does grapefruit or grapefruit juice interact with Entocort EC?
Answer: Yes, grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with Entocort EC and cause more of it to be released into the bloodstream.

2. Why can't I stay on Entocort EC indefinitely? It works great for Crohn's.
Answer: Entocort is a steroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Taking steroids long term can cause many side effects such as skin thinning, decrease in bone density, increase in weight, glaucoma, cataracts and many other problems.
