Beclomethasone vs Budesonide
 | Beclomethasone |  | Budesonide |  |
| Beclomethasone is used to prevent and control symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the irritation and swelling of the airways. This medication must be used regularly to prevent breathing problems (attacks of wheezing/shortness of breath). It does not work immediately and should not be used to relieve an asthma attack. If an attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. | This medication is used to treat certain bowel conditions (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis). While budesonide does not cure these conditions, it may decrease symptoms such as pain and diarrhea. Budesonide is an anti-inflammatory drug (corticosteroid hormone). It works by decreasing the body's natural defense response (immune response). | |||

| Add Beclomethasone review My GP told me to stop as it was possibly causing my eye to bleed.(Blood in white of eye) | Add Budesonide review I take this for my ulcerative colitis, nothing else has ever helped my symptoms of chronic diahrea. Im so blessed to live normally again. I had microscopic colitis, which was mis-diagnosed as IBS for 10+ years. What a relief to have gotten the new diagnosis, with an actual treatment plan! I have been taking budesonide for over a year. My face is a little bit puffy, I've had a little facial hair growth, but its all worth not running to the bathroom all day long! I feel much better and I am worried when I have to stop taking this medication. The only problem is it makes my heart pound and my ankles have swelled. | |||
