Steroid budesonide warning

[Markirish]

Hi all. I have been on budesonide(symbicort 200) for 10 years. In that time I bled very badly and my skin thinned to the point that I split myself over brushing off a table. I also bruised badly. My small jack Russell would run across my chest and leave little bruises from his paws. I went onto beclazone whit the other active ingredient in symbicort and it worked like a dream. Only go to symbicort/budesonide when you must. Please be carefully and know ALL the side effects. Pharmacy staff don't always know the whole facts.

It has thinned my skin but it’s the best asthma drug I’ve ever had....
