Entocort EC Information

Entocort EC (Budesonide) is primarily used to treat mild-to-moderate active Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive tract lining, causing ulcers, pain, and diarrhea. It is typically used in active Crohn's disease involving the ileum and the ascending colon. Its active ingredient is budesonide, a corticosteroid. Unlike traditional corticosteroids that affect the entire body, this medication works through a targeted-release mechanism.

Its enteric coating prevents the drug from dissolving in the stomach, allowing it to reach the ileum and ascending colon, the areas most commonly affected by Crohn’s disease. Once released, budesonide binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the gut tissue, thereby suppressing the local immune response and reducing inflammation. This subsequently leads to the reduction in symptoms like abdominal cramping and frequent bowel movements, potentially inducing remission while sparing your body from many of the systemic side effects typically seen with systemic steroids like prednisone. It may, however, take approximately 2 to 4 weeks before you begin to see its impact.

In addition to its use in treating Crohn's disease, budesonide has been shown to benefit patients with other inflammatory conditions. It may be used to treat active ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the large intestine. Budesonide may also be used to reduce loss of kidney function in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy, who are at risk of disease progression. It may also be used in adults and children aged 11 years and above to treat eosinophilic esophagitis, an immune-mediated disease characterized by a high concentration of eosinophils (white blood cells) that causes allergic inflammatory injury and esophageal narrowing.
