Re: Anyone using Entocort (Budesonide)

[Guest guest]

Budesonide is a steriod like prednisone but has the advantage of

coating the gastrointestinal track with only 10% absorption into the

blood. The hope is that it's effect will be strong on the

gastrointestinal lining with fewer of the " prednisone " side effects on

the rest of the body.

It helps calm down Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. I'm unaware

of how it might affect itching in PSC. Everyone is interested in more

effective treatments for itching. Good luck!
