Medication Information: Crohn's disease is a disease that causes inflammation of the intestinal wall (gastrointestinal tract). Any part of the intestine can be infected, but it often starts in the lower part of the small intestine, called the ileum, and affects other parts of the small and large intestine. As the disease progresses, inflammation causes a variety of symptoms that vary depending on the part of the intestine that is affected. Common symptoms include pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and sores. Steroid drugs such as budesonide reduce inflammation, which helps relieve symptoms.
Budesonide capsules and granules begin their work when they reach the small intestine. This means that budesonide capsules are prescribed for people who have inflammation in the lower part of the small intestine or the upper part of the large intestine.
Budesonide, ud Budenofalk., Is prescribed to treat some other conditions associated with inflammation. Budesonide capsules are used to treat a type of chronic inflammation of the liver called autoimmune hepatitis inflammation and to reduce diarrhea caused by collagen colitis (a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine).
