Hi Noname,

I hadn't heard of budenofalk but just googled it and think it's the same as budesonide?

If so, I found this a lot better than prednisolone as it gave me a lot less side effects. I feel it works slightly better for me than pred to.

Sorry I can't be more help! x

Thanks for the reply Artifical, big help. Yea its the same.

If it worked better than the pred then thats brill because when I was on my highest dose of pred I felt brilliant, my symptons were completely gone. Now im off it and just on aza my symptons are all back.

Im due to start it in the morning, how long were you on it? Im guessing pople cant stay on it for long because of the side effects just like pred? I have two weeks on it then if I dont feel better which I dont think I will I've to phone the doc.

I was on it for about 1 year. Significantly less side effects, because it is not easily absorbed, so it mainly acts in the intestines. It's a synthetic cortisone, designed specifically for IBD treatment.
