What is Entocort?

Entocort (budesonide) is a steroid prescribed to treat mild to moderate Crohn’s disease. Entocort treats Crohn’s symptoms by reducing inflammation in the intestine and colon. Budesonide doesn’t cure these conditions but may decrease or relieve symptoms including diarrhea and pain.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and use Entocort exactly as prescribed.

• Take Entocort with a full glass of water.
• Entocort can be taken with or without food, but you may prefer to take with food to prevent stomach irritation.
• Swallow whole. Do not crush or chew tablet.
• Tell your doctor if you are ill, under stress or if you have surgery as your dosage may need to be changed.
• Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve.
