Binding with receptors: Budesonide connects with glucocorticoid receptors that exist inside the cells of your body. These receptors have a role in controlling various biological responses within your cells.
Suppressing inflammation: Once budesonide binds with these receptors, it initiates a series of events inside the cell that result in the reduction of substances that cause inflammation like cytokines, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes.
Alleviating symptoms: By reducing inflammation in the lining of your intestines, it helps manage symptoms and brings relief in cases of ulcerative colitis.
