Avatar f tn Little is known about the long-term efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the efficacy of inhaled budesonide on decline in lung function and respiratory symptoms in a 3-year placebo-controlled study of patients with COPD...... Inhaled budesonide was of no clinical benefit in COPD patients recruited from the general population by screening.
Avatar f tn There is general agreement in the medical community that it is safe to take loratidin or budesonide. The question of safety of Spiramycin has not been determined with certainty. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized the relative safety (of the fetus) of drug taken during pregnancy as follows. To my knowledge, Spiramycin has not been categorized by the FDA but other similar drugs in the same category are usually placed in Category C.
Avatar f tn I had a month or so on Entecort (budesonide here in England) but had a severe rectal haemorrhage and was hospitalised on IV steroids and needed blood transfusions. I don't think my gastro in England, who prescribed it, at the time realised that Entecort only works in the small intestine, and I had Pan Crohn's Colitis. As I had stopped prednisone to go onto budesonide, I had no protection in the colon, hence the flare.

Avatar f tn I contacted pharmacies and the drug company themselves, and there is no date know for when it will be available again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Have any tips, I'm pretty new to this. Or is anyone taking a different medication and getting good results? (Steroids did not work on this, I was on entocort for a long time for eosiniphillic esophagitis). Thank you very much!
Avatar f tn Montelukast (a so called anti-leukotriene drug), Budesonide an inhaled steroid, Formoterol as you state, a long acting beta agonist –bronchodilator drug. Any qualified/certified pharmacist should be able to associate the preceding drug names with the local commercial name of the drug.
Avatar n tn I have a dog with IBD and he takes a compounded steroid called Budesonide everyday plus an enzyme supplement called Prozyme and stays on a strict diet of a fish and pot dry kibble. He still flares up every few months with bloody diarrhea which then we start up sulfasalazine 3 times a day which usually calms things down within a few days and after a week or 2 he's back on track.
Avatar f tn s bad enough that you feel you needed to suspend the drug for a time, it may not be the best fit for you. No drug is side-effect free, but there are a lot of good options out there now to try.
Avatar m tn One of the newer suggestions is the use of orally ingested budesonide. You may want to check with your doctor.
Avatar n tn I am regularly using Ventloin, Fomertrol+budesonide and Motelukast+LC. The only problem is breathlessness arising from throat tightness. I never wheeze in the life. The throat tightness is getting reduced when i take Ventolin. The doctor say i don't have to take ventolin beacause Fomertrol+budesonide and Motelukast+LC. will prevent the difficulty. But only medicines which seems to be working is Ventolin and Motelukast+LC.
7052683 tn?1392938795 My Mia is taking a liquid formulation of this drug but seems to have VERY loose stools. Is that normal? She was fine before this med. Now they want to add Metrocondizole, which she foams at the moth when given. I am about to just stop everything and let her just live her life with her favorite foods, no meds, and hope for the best . It is wearing us both out. All I want is her to be happy and not have to eat z/d and fight with her every day with meds. Am I a horrible mom????? Really?
Avatar n tn I'm a 44-year old female, with asthmatic allergic response to cats since childhood. I smoked off and on from 18-39, about 5 pack-years. I've lived near a cat (outdoors with access to my husband's study) for 18 years, and have treated my asthma with albuterol, adding ventolin when necessary. About 12 weeks ago I caught bronchitis, then wildfires broke out near my home that made the air unhealthy for about 2 weeks. This provoked a severe asthma attack -- for three weeks.
Avatar f tn I've recently been diagnosed with asthma and was prescribed ventolin and budesonide inhalers. After a few days of suffering side effects and getting much worse I went back to the doctor and he confirmed that I am allergic to budesonide, which he said is quite unusual. He prescribed me atrovent but from what I understand it is usually a substitute for ventolin not steroids.
Avatar n tn Over that period I have tried different combinations of Prednisolone, Budesonide, Salazopyrin, Singulair and Colpermin, all with limited success. Presently, I am taking Budesonide (9mg daily) and Salazopyrin (150mg daily). Whilst this allows me to function normally (i.e. normal bowel movements) I have discomfort, bloating and cramping all day, every day. Has anybody ever come through this disease to lead a normal life, or has anyone treated a patient that has done so?
Avatar n tn I was recently put on a drug that had had a recent epidemiological (SP?) study that demonstrated a link to cancer. I forget which type. He said that it was absurd to think that a five year study could demonstrate such a link, that it takes longer for a drug to cause cancer. I have to assume that he also thinks its absurd to think that it would only take five years for a drug to cause a cancer that was 'dormant' to become active (detectable). Do you agree?
Avatar n tn if so does your wife have a genetic disorder it would be the BRACA 1 or 2 if she does then she would have a good chance of getting on the phase2 trials of a pharp inhibitor drug called OLAPARIB thIs is a wonder drug as far as i am concerned i have been on it for two years under the phase ! trials the trials are coming out of the royal marsden in surrey< under dr de bono, I SUGGEST YOU SPEAK TO YOUR DR TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET REFERED . bEST WISHES.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know anything about RO5024048, a drug for HCV made by Roche? I have been asked to participate in the study. Any info is appreciated.
Avatar f tn It has had (VX 950) a really good track record so far but also is not perfect as their are reports of severe rashes and some evidence of viral mutations in the earlier trials. Being it is in phase 3 with a large group to study the picture will get a little clearer on that drug. I hope that helps and good luck in your decision just think long and hard about it first.
Avatar m tn Member ChrisTroup said: I would urge ANYONE who has chronic diarrhea associated with SSRI use to go to their doctor and insist on being tested for Microscopic Colitis. Long story short, I was diagnosed with collagenous/microscopic colitis. Since then, I've tried to manage it the best I can with diet, medication, and lifestyle changes. My GI doctor had me on Lomotil for a long time. And it was ok. I am now close to finishing my second round and Entocort has done wonders.
956931 tn?1271636169 The first arm will receive 100 mg of the study drug for 12 weeks and a placebo for the remaining 36 weeks. The second arm will receive 150 mg of the study drug for 12 weeks and a placebo for the rest, and so on. Each arm is different. Neither I nor the doctors or nurses conducting the study know which arm I am in. Only the drug company knows. I won't find out until the end of the study.
Avatar n tn He has been on budesonide for 4 weeks with no results. He also takes esomeprazole with no results. When she did the cameraoscopy she saw what she called white fuzz at the beginning of lower intestines. We did a round of fungal meds. No results. Can anyone help please.
Avatar m tn Hi granma, Your cat may also need some medication for her IBS. My cat takes Budesonide in liquid form everyday. She has the other problem of constipation, but I give her miralax. Ask your vet if the Budesonide would be indicated for this condition...I think she sounds like it is pancreatitis or Irritable Bowel. Fairly common in cats. My cat is also on Hills Z/D food only. I know some do not favor this food but it works for my cat along with the Busesonide....so I am a believer.
Avatar f tn For the last 16 week I have been in a Roche trial using Pegasys/Copegus with a polymerase inhibitor called RO4588161. Today I was informed to stop taking the RO study drug due to safety concerns. RATS!!!! I have been UND since week 6 and they will continue me on SOC.
