Detailed description

One actuation of 2 mg budesonide daily.

Duration of treatment

The attending physician determines the duration of use. An acute episode generally subsides after 6 to 8 weeks. Budenofalk 2mg rectal foam should not be used after this period of time.

Dosage considerations

The canister is first fitted with an applicator and then shaken for about 15 seconds before the applicator is inserted into the rectum as far as comfortable. Note that the dose is only sufficiently accurate when the pump dome is held downwards as vertically as possible. To administer a dose of Budenofalk 2mg rectal foam, the pump dome is fully pushed down and very slowly released. Following the activation the applicator should be held in position for 10-15 seconds before being withdrawn from the rectum. The best results are obtained when the intestine is evacuated prior to administration of Budenofalk 2mg rectal foam.

Active ingredient
