Precautions and warnings
Some patients may have signs of systemically active corticosteroid withdrawal during oral corticosteroid withdrawal, such as joint and/or muscular discomfort, lassitude, and depression, despite maintaining or even improving respiratory function. Budesonide inhalers can commonly treat asthma symptoms with less hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) suppression than therapeutically similar oral Prednisone dosages. Because Budesonide is taken into the bloodstream and can be systemically active at larger doses, the full benefit of the Budesonide inhaler in reducing HPA dysfunction can only be expected if suggested dosages are not exceeded and individual patients are titrated to the lowest effective dose. Physicians should take this into account when administering a Budesonide inhaler because individual sensitivity to impacts on cortisol production exists.
