In addition to its main use, this medicine can be used to alleviate the symptoms of other types of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and microscopic colitis. It works by reducing inflammation in the digestive tract, thereby helping to relieve symptoms like abdominal pain and frequent diarrhoea.

Before starting this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor about the appropriate dosage and frequency for your condition. Be sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or current medications. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, report them to your doctor immediately.

Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

Using Budez CR Capsule may cause the following common side effects:

Headache

Abdominal pain
Bloating
Gas
Acne
Mood changes

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Budez CR Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a couple of tips to manage some common side effects:

Nausea: You can take Budez CR Capsule with a light meal to help reduce this feeling.
Abdominal pain: Follow the diet plan recommended by your doctor.

The active component in Budez CR Capsule is budesonide (3 mg). Here's how it works:

Immune Response Suppression: Budesonide suppresses the immune system's inflammatory response. Simply put, it reduces the body's production and release of substances that cause inflammation.
Localised Action: The controlled-release formulation of this medicine ensures it is gradually released in the intestines. This means that it targets the site of inflammation directly, which is particularly beneficial for managing diseases like ulcerative colitis.
Reduced Systemic Absorption: Due to its localised action, less budesonide is absorbed into the rest of the body compared to other oral corticosteroids. This minimises the risk of steroid-related side effects.

Pregnancy

During pregnancy, it is advised to only take Budez CR Capsule if the benefits outweigh potential risks. Please consult your doctor before starting this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's crucial to consult with your doctor about taking Budez CR Capsule. The active ingredient, budesonide, may pass into breast milk.

Alcohol

It is always a good idea to avoid or limit alcohol consumption while taking medication.

Liver

Caution is suggested when taking Budez CR Capsule if you have any liver health issues. Consulting your doctor is recommended before starting this medicine as it may affect liver function.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, be cautious when using Budez CR Capsule. It would be best to discuss any kidney-related concerns with your doctor before using this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Budez CR Capsule may cause dizziness or fatigue in some patients. Be careful while driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

Before taking Budez CR Capsule, inform your doctor if you have any allergies. This includes known allergies to budesonide or any other ingredients in the capsule.

Children

The use of Budez CR Capsule in children should always be under medical supervision. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients might be more susceptible to side effects of Budez CR Capsule and should take this medicine under medical supervision. If patients are above 70 years of age or have liver and kidney issues, it's advised to consult a doctor before starting this medicine.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Budez CR Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Antifungal Medicines: Medications like ketoconazole and other antifungals can increase the level of budesonide in your body.
Antibiotics: Certain antibiotics like erythromycin and clarithromycin may also increase budesonide levels.
Oral Contraceptives: Oestrogen-containing contraceptives can elevate budesonide levels.
Tuberculosis Medication: Rifampin may reduce the effect of Budez CR Capsule by decreasing budesonide levels.

Drug-Food Interactions

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice have been found to interact with Budez CR Capsule. They can heighten the risk of side effects by increasing budesonide levels in your body.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Budez CR Capsule interacts with the following diseases:

Diabetes: Budez CR Capsule can affect blood sugar control, making it crucial to monitor glucose levels closely.
Hypertension: This medication might alter blood pressure control, so regular monitoring is essential if you have high blood pressure.

Daily Dose

Remember, it's crucial to take your daily dose of Budez CR Capsule exactly as your doctor prescribes. This dosage can vary based on several factors like the severity of your condition and your response to the medicine. Avoid changing the prescribed dosage without first consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Accidentally taking more than the prescribed dose of Budez CR Capsule might cause you to experience side effects like muscle weakness and headaches. Your blood sugar levels might also rise. If these symptoms persist, it's important to inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you've forgotten to take a dose of Budez CR Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for your next dose, just skip this missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor, even if you've missed a dose.

Keep Budez CR Capsule in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Store at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.
Don't expose the medicine to extreme heat or moisture.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Remember to use Budez CR Capsule before its expiry date.

To manage symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), incorporate a high-fibre diet. This can help reduce inflammation in your gut.
