Budez CR

Budez CR is a controlled-release medication containing budesonide, a corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It helps reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, providing relief from symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding.
