Compounded Budesonide viscous

Budesonide viscous compound is a compounded medication that is primarily used to treat eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus caused by an immune response to allergens or irritants.

Common Uses:
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) – Budesonide, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation in the esophagus. When prepared as a viscous suspension, it coats the esophageal lining, allowing better absorption and prolonged contact time for effective treatment.
Other Off-Label Uses – Some providers may prescribe budesonide in a viscous form for conditions that require topical steroid treatment of the digestive tract.
Why Is It Compounded?
Not Available Commercially in a Viscous Form – Budesonide is available as inhalers and nebulizer solutions, but for EoE, a thicker (viscous) liquid is needed to coat the esophagus.
Customized Dosage – Compounded formulations allow dose adjustments based on the patient’s needs.
Better Adherence & Effectiveness – The viscous consistency improves the medication’s ability to stick to the esophageal lining, making it more effective than swallowed pills or inhaled steroids.
