Entocort EC (active ingredient: budesonide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  1. Treatment of Mild to Moderate Crohn’s Disease: Entocort EC is indicated for the induction and maintenance of clinical remission in patients with mild to moderate active Crohn’s disease involving the ileum and/or the ascending colon.

Entocort EC belongs to the drug class known as corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Entocort EC (Budesonide) comes as an oral capsule in different strengths. Follow the directions on the prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any parts that you do not understand. The dosage may vary depending on the condition being treated. Typically, it is taken once a day in the morning, at least an hour before a meal. The capsules should be swallowed whole and should not be split, chewed, or crushed. If you are unable to swallow the capsules, they can be opened and sprinkled onto a tablespoonful of applesauce, mixed well, and swallowed whole, followed by a full glass of water within 30 minutes.

For the treatment of mild to moderate Crohn’s disease, the usual starting dose is 9 mg once daily for up to 8 weeks. For maintenance of clinical remission of mild to moderate Crohn’s disease, the usual dose is 6 mg once daily for up to 3 months.
