Since budesonide is a glucocorticoid, general warnings concerning glucocorticoids should be followed. Risk of impaired adrenal function when transferring from glucocorticoid treatment with higher systemic effects to glucocorticoid treatment with lower systemic effects, such as budesonide. Taper patients slowly from systemic corticosteroids if transferring to budesonide. Potential worsening of infections (e.g., chickenpox, measles, existing tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection). Use with caution in patients with these infections. Reduced liver function affects the elimination of glucocorticoid, and increases systemic availability of oral budesonide.Interaction
Avoid Cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, grapefruit juice). It may cause increased systemic corticosteroid effects. Budesonide does not affect the plasma levels of oral contraceptives.Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Budesonide should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Budesonide is secreted in human milk. So, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or budesonide taking into account the clinical importance of the drug to the mother.Acute Overdose
