budesonide

Yep, Some years ago as an alternative to Pred. It was a relatively short course with tapering. The effects were much the same with Pred, but I seem to recall that the mood swing issues were a little more pronounced. Nevertheless, it did provide a period of respite in terms of pain and B/A's. Don't quote me on this, but I think that the main difference from Pred is the way the body absorbs and possibly secretes budesonide. I'm being lazy, Google it in if you are interested,
Cheers
