What is Entocort used for?
Entocort enemas are prescribed to treat the symptoms of ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease). Entocort (budesonide) is not a cure for this condition, but it can aid in relieving symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools. Using Entocort as an enema will allow it to work directly on the bowel and rectum. Entocort (budesonide) is classified as a corticosteroid that works by decreasing inflammation.
