Budesonide
Contraindications
Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Budesonide should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Budesonide is secreted in human milk. So, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or budesonide taking into account the clinical importance of the drug to the mother.
Side Effects
Since budesonide is a glucocorticoid, general warnings concerning glucocorticoids should be followed. Risk of impaired adrenal function when transferring from glucocorticoid treatment with higher systemic effects to glucocorticoid treatment with lower systemic effects, such as budesonide. Taper patients slowly from systemic corticosteroids if transferring to budesonide. Potential worsening of infections (e.g., chickenpox, measles, existing tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection). Use with caution in patients with these infections. Reduced liver function affects the elimination of glucocorticoid, and increases systemic availability of oral budesonide.
Pregnancy And Lactation
If glucocorticoids are used at excessive doses for prolonged periods, systemic glucocorticoid effects such as hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur.
