@oregonian I’ve not taken budesonide, but it was for that exact reason. I’ve had mc for about 35 years now and the person who finally explained everything about the drug and what it can do to you was my pharmacist (makes sense). It is recommended if you have osteoporosis not to take it. It will just make your bones more brittle than they already are. It’s recommended to not take it if you have thyroid disease or osteoarthritis as well. Any kind of steroid like budesonide will damage your bones.
