Budesonide

Budesonide is a medication used to reduce inflammation in the body, particularly in the digestive system and respiratory tract. It is a type of corticosteroid, which helps control swelling, redness, and irritation. Budesonide is commonly prescribed for conditions like asthma, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. It works locally where applied or ingested, minimizing systemic side effects. Typically taken as an inhaler or oral pill, it helps manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups by calming down the overactive immune response involved in these conditions.
