Budesonide ER Warnings
Please review the following safety information regarding the use of budesonide (Uceris) carefully. It highlights potential risks and necessary precautions for safe use. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns.
Cortisol Level Changes: Budesonide (Uceris), as a corticosteroid, can alter cortisol levels, an essential hormone for various body functions. Those with moderate-to-severe liver issues or long-term users of budesonide should be particularly cautious.
Steroid Withdrawal: Transitioning to budesonide (Uceris) from another steroid can lead to withdrawal symptoms, potentially increasing brain pressure. Do not switch steroids without medical guidance. Your healthcare provider may gradually reduce your previous steroid dosage and monitor your cortisol levels during the transition.
Infection Risk: Budesonide (Uceris) may compromise your immune system, increasing infection risks or exacerbating existing infections, including viral or fungal ones. Inform your healthcare team about any current or past infections and report any signs of infection, such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, body aches, fatigue, or pain.
Exacerbation of Medical Conditions: Budesonide (Uceris) can aggravate certain conditions by elevating blood pressure and sugar levels, causing bone loss (osteoporosis), stomach ulcers, and eye problems like glaucoma or cataracts. Individuals with high blood pressure, a personal or family history of diabetes, osteoporosis, stomach ulcers, glaucoma, or a family history of glaucoma should exercise caution.
No specific contraindications are noted for budesonide (Uceris). However, this information is crucial for ensuring the safe use of the medication, so please discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
