Hi there,
My bowel has been bleeding for 2 weeks, am assuming I am having a flare up of my UC. Was diagnosed Jan 13 and this is the first time. My doctor prescribed Budesonide 3mg capsules to use in the event of a flare up, although I have been hesitant due to breastfeeding both my 7month old and my 3 year old. Having googled both Prednisolone and Budesonide, I've noticed that they both have a half-life of 2-3 hours, so would it be safe to assume that I can take Budesonide straight after the boys' morning feed and then allow 4 hours until the following feed?
Am also taking Mesalazine 400mg, two tablets three times a day.
Many thanks in advance
