How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Budesonide 2 mg/30 ml Retention Enema is a pre-prepared liquid formulation contained in pre-filled enema bottles, specifically designed for rectal administration. This method of administration provides a convenient and hygienic approach for targeted treatment of various inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and proctitis. The medication works by reducing inflammation in the rectum and colon, which in turn helps to alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and diarrhea.

The medication is administered as a retention enema, which means it is held in the rectum for a certain period of time before being expelled. This allows for a more sustained release of the medication. The enema offers a measured dose of the solution for easy and controlled application, eliminating the need for additional preparation.

When using Budesonide 2 mg/30 ml Retention Enema, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The enema should be administered as directed, typically once or twice daily. It is important to retain the enema for the recommended duration, usually 15-30 minutes, to ensure optimal absorption of the medication. After the recommended time has elapsed, the enema should be expelled.

It is important to understand that Budesonide 2 mg/30 ml Retention Enema is not a cure for inflammatory diseases, but rather a means to manage symptoms. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are necessary to ensure the medication is working effectively and to adjust the dosage as required.

If you have any queries about Budesonide 2 mg/30 ml Retention Enema or its mechanism of action, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They are there to assist you in finding the most suitable treatment for your condition.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
