I am wondering if anyone knows how much budesonide is absorbed systemically with this medication? (Entocort enemas 2mg/100ml)
Is it ok to use it as maintenance long term or should it be stopped?
I have been using it on and off for about a year and am worried I might be causing long term damage.
Also what are other medications that help people with a similar condition to mine? (see signature)
My latest flare up has been going on for a while now. It's mild (2-3 bms a day, with some urgency), but in the past, I managed to get back into remission with the combintation of Mesalazine tablets + enemas and Entocort enemas. This time, there is little improvement but it's also not especially bad. Does the disease progress over time or becomes immune to medication? Should I try other meds to try and achieve full remission or should I let it linger?
Thanks in advance! nl
