| Indication: | For the treatment of mild to moderate active Crohn-s disease. |
| Pharmacology: | Budesonide is a synthetic corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate active Crohn-s disease involving the ileum and/or the ascending colon. Budesonide is used in Crohn-s disease to decrease the symptoms and inflammation associated with the disease, especially at times of flare up. Budesonide has a high topical glucocorticosteroid (GCS) activity and a substantial first pass elimination. The formulation contains granules which are coated to protect dissolution in gastric juice, but which dissolve at pH >5.5, ie, normally when the granules reach the duodenum. Thereafter, a matrix of ethylcellulose with budesonide controls the release of the drug into the intestinal lumen in a time-dependent manner. |
| Mechanism_of_action: | The exact mechanism of action of budesonide in the treatment of Crohn-s disease is not fully understood. However, being a glucocorticosteroid, budesonide has a high local anti-inflammatory effect. |
| Organisms_affected: | Humans and other mammals |
