Any one out there that takes or has taken Budesonide side effects

Posted by kitty2 @kitty2, Mar 10, 2023

Any one taken or has taken Budesonide capsules that have had lots of side effects , such as severe gas with severe rectal bleeding. The side effects are unreal and the physicians will not listen to me. This is unreal. I want to taper off this drug in a safe way. Thanks kitty2

Hi, @iloveacoustic, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad to hear the budesonide is helping your microscopic colitis.

Do you feel your arthritis has worsened in connection with taking the budesonide? Has your doctor weighed in on this and the sleep with some recommendations?

Arthritis is worse, yes, but hard to say its the budosinide, no, haven’t had a follow up at the doc yet.

I've taken it several times. It makes me extremely constipated, tired, and generally feel awful. Unfortunately, once I stop my symptoms reappear.

Are you certain that other things may be going on and not the medication? Prob need doc follow up, but anything’s possible no guess with prescription meds.
