Hello, everyone. I'm new to managing asthma and recently started using Budesonide 0.25mg/2ml Vials for my nebulizer. Can anyone share their experience with this medication? How often do you use it, and have you noticed any significant side effects? I'm curious to know if it's made a difference in controlling your asthma symptoms. I have to use it every day, even when I feel fine, which is a bit confusing since I'm used to taking medication only when I'm symptomatic. Any tips on sticking to the routine would be great!

I was prescribed Budesonide ER 9mg Tablets to manage my ulcerative colitis. The doctor mentioned it targets inflammation in the intestines, which is good, but I'm a bit worried about the side effects. I've heard that it can cause some serious issues, like allergic reactions, high blood sugar, and even signs of infection. Has anyone else had similar concerns or experiences? I'm wondering if the benefits outweigh the risks, or if there are tips to manage the side effects. Also, how does it compare to other steroids like prednisone?
