Experiences with

Cortiment

hi, I’m taking Cortiment steroids which worked for the first 2.5 months but the last 2 months I have been getting bouts of diarrhoea. Therefore, i am now going to try prednisone! Hopefully it will work for me then I will start the Adalimumab injections.

Anyone know something as strong as azaophoprine and Cortiment 9 mg steroids as they both worked for me but caused liver damage and steroids arent for long term use. I don’t want to be fobbed off with meds that don’t work

hi, I’ve been on Cortiment steroids for approx 4 months now and they are working, but recently I’ve noticed my stomach has been more upset (diarrhoea) and I’m going on holiday soon so feeling a little anxious. .

When you come off the 8 week course of cortiment oral steroids backed up towards the end with budesonide rectal foam , do you then become vunrable to infections.

Just finished a 8 week course of cortiment oral steroids which helped tremendously, following this course I somehow developed a stomach bug.the doctor prescribed a week course of antibiotics.

My consultant for crohns wants me to go back on steroids (I had 3 courses last year - 2 made me ill (cortiment / budesonide) one worked (prednisolone) but I was hyper so much so I sprained an ankle, fat and had moon face).

I am in Italy and a friend with Crohn's told me about a new medicine called Cortiment 9mg, Budesonide. It is a class of corticosteriods. He says it has very little side effects. Has anyone ever heard of this and could it be used to treat PMR?
