Just diagnosed with colitis...given Budesonide $$$$

Thanks. I was only on it for 3 months, stepping down from 9mg a day to 1 then off. No need for it since.

I was under impression it was uniquely pointed at microscopic colitis. And it’s been a miracle drug for that for me. But my doc was clear there was a beginning and end to the treatment.

I'm just starting to taper off the 9 mg dose and am hoping to have the same experience you had! I, too, understood that it is best for microscopic colitis, and agree that it's a miracle drug. My GI doc says if necessary I could stay on a low dose almost indefinitely. Apparently a large percentage of us do so - perhaps 3 mg every other day or so. We're all so very different in what we need and what works to manage this disease!
