Inhaled Budesonide Pharmacology
On this episode of the podcast, I cover budesonide (Pulmicort) pharmacology. Our sponsor (Pyrls.com/rlp) for this episode is providing a FREE PDF of their inhaled corticosteroid categorizations chart (i.e. low/medium/high dose ICS) when you sign up for a free account!
The onset of action of inhaled budesonide is several hours up to a few days. Patient education is critical to ensure that patients stick with its use.
Budesonide does have a nebulized formulation that is often used in pediatrics and geriatrics.
There aren't a ton of critical drug interactions, but you should think about medications that inhibit CYP3A4 and may have additive immunosuppressive effects.
