I've recently been prescribed Budesonide ER 9mg Tablets for ulcerative colitis, and while I'm hoping it helps, I'm also pretty nervous about the long list of possible side effects. The medication is supposed to work locally in the gut, but there are still some scary ones listed like allergic reactions and high blood sugar. Has anyone had a good experience with this medication? And if so, did you experience any of the side effects listed, and if so, how did you manage them? I'd really appreciate any advice or personal stories to help me navigate this. Thanks!
