What is Budesonide?

Budesonide (brand names: Entocort EC®, Uceris®, Pulmicort®, Rhinocort®) is a systemic glucocorticoid (steroid) used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in dogs and cats, especially when other steroids are ineffective, or the pet cannot tolerate steroids. It may also be used to treat sinus inflammation or asthma.
Its use in cats and dogs to treat IBD is ‘off label’ or ‘extra label’. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.
