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

  • Ulcerative Colitis: Uceris is used for the induction of remission in patients with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis.

Uceris belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation in the intestinal lining.

Uceris is available as an extended-release tablet and should be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, typically once daily in the morning. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Do not chew or crush the tablet, as this can increase side effects risk by releasing all the drug at once.

Follow the dosage and length of treatment prescribed by your healthcare provider, as they may vary depending on your medical condition and response to treatment.

While taking Uceris, avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice as it can increase the chance of side effects with the medication. If you are regularly taking a different corticosteroid by mouth, such as prednisone, do not stop taking it unless directed by your doctor, as certain conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your doctor may slowly lower the dose of your old medication after you begin taking budesonide to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

To get the most benefit from Uceris, use it regularly at the same time every day. Do not increase your dose or use the drug more often or for longer than prescribed, as this may increase your risk of side effects.

Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. If you experience any withdrawal symptoms such as weakness, weight loss, nausea, muscle pain, headache, tiredness, or dizziness, inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
