TREATMENT OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an oral formulation for treating gastrointestinal inflammation that includes an effective amount of budesonide suspended in an edible oil, typically a vegetable oil. A method for treating gastrointestinal inflammation in mammals is also described and includes orally administering a composition of this invention to a mammal. In one embodiment, an initial dosage is administered daily for about two to four weeks and the dosage is subsequently tapered, generally at about two week intervals, in response to a reduction in symptoms until a minimum dose that controls symptoms is achieved.
