Description:
Budesonide is a glucocorticoid with strong topical anti-inflammatory action. The exact mechanism of glucocorticoids’ action in the treatment of rhinitis is not fully understood. Anti-inflammatory actions, such as inhibition of the release of inflammatory mediators and of the immunological reaction raised by the intervention of cytokines are probably important. The endogenous activity of budesonide, measured as the degree of chemical relation to glucocorticoid receptors, is almost 15 times higher than the one of prednisolone.
