What is Entocort (budesonide)?

Entocort (budesonide) is a corticosteroid prescribed for adults and children at least 8 years or older who weigh 55 lbs (25 kg), to treat mild to moderate Crohn’s disease. It does not cure the condition but decreases some of the symptoms, like pain and diarrhea.

It is also used in adults to prevent the symptoms from returning (maintaining remission), but should not be used for more than 3 months at a time unless directed otherwise by your doctor.

Entocort belongs to the drug class corticosteroids. These medications work by decreasing inflammation in the intestine and colon.

Entocort is not recommended:

  • If you are allergic or have had an allergic reaction to Entocort or any of its ingredients.
  • For children under the age of 8 years or who weigh less than 55 lbs (25 kg).
  • If you have a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection.
  • If you have active tuberculosis (TB).

Indications

Entocort is approved to reduce the symptoms of mild to moderate Crohn’s disease and/or to maintain remission.

Usage

Storage

Entocort should be stored in its original packaging at between 68-77°F (20-25°C) with excursions permitted between 59-86°F (15-30°C).

Store Entocort in a dry place away from light and moisture.

Keep out of reach of children.

Instruction

Take Entocort orally as directed by your doctor in the morning before breakfast with a full glass of water. Swallow the capsule whole and do not chew or crush it.

Do not change your dosage and take more than what is prescribed, or stop using without consulting your doctor. If you have taken more than your prescribed dosage, contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical care.

If you miss a dose, skip the dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not catch up by taking two doses at once. If you took more than prescribed, contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical care.

Dosage

Entocort is available in a 3 mg capsule form.

The recommended starting dose to treat a flare-up of Crohn’s disease is 9 mg a day for up to 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, if your symptoms are controlled, your doctor will likely reduce it to a maintenance dose of 6mg for up to 3 months. After 3 months, your doctor will gradually reduce your dose over 2 to 4 weeks.

It usually takes two to four weeks to see the full effect of this medication.

Before using, discuss possible side effects with your doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings & Precautions

Before taking Entocort, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you:

  • Or anyone in your family has diabetes or glaucoma
  • Ever had TB, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, ulcers, or cataracts
  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant

Grapefruit

Avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit when taking Entocort, as it may increase the amount of budesonide in your body and increase the risk of side effects.

Alcohol

Avoid or limit your alcohol intake as it will increase your risk of stomach bleeding.

CYP3A4 Inhibitors

If you take CYP3A inhibitors with Entocort, it can cause your body to break Entocort down too quickly. This can increase the levels of Entocort in your body and the risk of side effects. You should avoid taking these medications together unless directed otherwise by your doctor.

Pregnant or planning to become pregnant

Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Your doctor will decide if the benefit of taking Entocort outweighs the risk.

Breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed

Speak to your doctor if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. Your doctor will decide if the benefit of taking Entocort outweighs the risk.

Before you use Entocort, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you:

  • Have allergic reactions to any medications
