Budesonide Oral Suspension (Eohilia) Indications and Uses

Budesonide oral suspension (Eohilia) is a new medicine specifically designed to treat eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Eosinophilic esophagitis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease caused by the accumulation of eosinophils in the esophagus. It is usually accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty swallowing food and chest pain. In severe cases, it may lead to esophageal stricture. By acting locally on the esophagus, budesonide oral suspension can effectively reduce the infiltration of eosinophils and reduce esophageal inflammation, thereby improving the patient's symptoms.

Budesonide is a steroid drug that reduces inflammation and edema in the esophagus by suppressing the inflammatory response in the immune system. Budesonide is administered as an oral suspension with good bioavailability and targeted action in the esophagus. The drug is designed to minimize systemic side effects, specifically budesonide oral suspension, which carries a lower risk than those common with traditional oral steroid drugs.

The use of budesonide oral suspension is focused on patients 11 years of age and older, especially those with eosinophilic esophagitis who are refractory to other treatments. Through treatment with this drug, patients can effectively relieve the discomfort caused by eosinophilic esophagitis, improve swallowing function, and reduce the occurrence of esophageal stricture.

Except for eosinophilic esophagitis, budesonide, as a steroid drug, has a wide range of anti-inflammatory effects and is also traditionally used to treat other immune system-related diseases, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, etc. However, budesonide oral suspension, as a drug specially designed for eosinophilic esophagitis, has a more precise target and specificity, reducing the side effects of steroids in other parts of the body.

The administration of budesonide oral suspension is relatively simple. Each dose is provided in a single-dose package of 2 mg/10 mL. Patients only need to take it daily according to the doctor's prescription. The drugs are designed specifically for long-term treatment, effectively reducing recurrence of symptoms and improving patients' quality of life.
