How To Use
How to take Budenofalk 3mg capsules
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Crohn’s disease
Take three capsules once daily in the morning or one capsule 3 times a day (morning, midday and evening), unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.
Duration of treatment
Your treatment should last about 8 weeks.
Microscopic colitis (collagenous and lymphocytic colitis)
Treatment of acute inflammation
Take three capsules once daily in the morning, unless you doctor instructs you otherwise.
Maintenance treatment
Maintenance treatment should only be started if symptoms reappear after stopping initial therapy. Depending on the course of your illness, your doctor will decide how many capsules you should take per day. Usually, the dose is two capsules once daily in the morning (a total of 6 mg budesonide per day). Alternatively, take two capsules in the morning on the first day and one capsule in the morning on the second day (corresponding to an average amount of 4.5 mg budesonide per day). Continue taking your medicine alternating the daily dose of two capsules and one capsule.
Duration of treatment
Treatment of acute inflammation should last about 8 weeks. The duration of maintenance treatment is determined by your doctor. Maintenance treatment is normally administered for up to 12 months. If it is indicated, your doctor may extend the treatment duration.
Autoimmune hepatitis
Treatment of acute inflammation
Take one capsule 3 times a day (morning, midday and evening), unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Depending on the results of laboratory examinations, your doctor will decide how long you should take three capsules per day.
Maintenance treatment
Take one capsule 2 times a day (morning and evening), unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Depending on the results of laboratory examinations, your doctor will decide how long you should take two capsules per day.
Please note that in most cases your doctor will prescribe Budenofalk 3mg capsules together with azathioprine, a medicine that works by reducing the body’s immune response.
Duration of treatment
Depending on the results of examinations of your blood and liver tissue, your doctor will decide how long you should take this medicine and how many capsules per day you should take.
Use in children (all indications)
Budenofalk 3mg capsules should NOT be used in children under 12 years of age.
There is only limited experience with the use of this medicine in children older than 12 years of age.
Method of administration
Budenofalk 3mg capsules are for oral use only.
The capsules are to be swallowed whole, with a glass of water about ½ hour before meals. Do not chew the capsules.
If you take more Budenofalk 3mg capsules than you should
If you have taken too much medicine on one occasion, take your next dose as prescribed. Do not take a smaller amount. Contact a doctor if you are in doubt, so he or she can decide what to do; take the carton and this leaflet with you if possible.
If you forget to take Budenofalk 3mg capsules
If you miss a dose, just continue your treatment at the prescribed dosage. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you stop taking Budenofalk 3mg capsules
Speak to your doctor if you want to interrupt or end your treatment early. It is important that you do not stop taking your medicine suddenly as it could make you ill. Keep taking your medicine until your doctor tells you to stop, even if you start to feel better.
Your doctor will probably want to reduce your dose gradually over the course of two weeks.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
