Precautions
Before starting Budesonide EC 3mg, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, particularly: liver problems, tuberculosis, eye infections (herpes simplex), and fungal infections. Discuss all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as interactions are possible. Pregnancy and breastfeeding also require special consideration. Your doctor will assess your individual risk and adjust the dosage or recommend alternatives if needed.
Monitoring and Follow-up
Regular check-ups allow your doctor to monitor your progress and adjust treatment accordingly. This helps minimize potential risks and maximizes therapeutic benefits.
