How effective is budesonide for treating autoimmune hepatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not effective!: Oral budesonide is poorly absorbed and little will go to your liver. See a rheumatologist or a GI doc! There are better treatment options. This one is off the cuff, unless you have IBD and are having hepatitis do to Crohn's or regional enteritis!
