Iganef-9 Tablet contains budesonide (9 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Anti-inflammatory action: Budesonide binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells, suppressing pro-inflammatory substances like cytokines and prostaglandins that cause intestinal inflammation.

• Targeted delivery: The controlled-release formulation ensures the medicine reaches the inflamed areas of your intestine (ileum and ascending colon) rather than being absorbed earlier in your digestive system.

• Local effect: Budesonide works directly on the intestinal lining to reduce swelling, redness, and irritation where the inflammation occurs.

• Minimal systemic absorption: The special coating allows the medicine to act primarily in the intestines, minimising how much enters your bloodstream and reducing potential whole-body side effects.

• Store Iganef-9 Tablet at room temperature in its original packaging.

• Keep the medicine in a tightly closed container, protected from light and moisture.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Always keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use Iganef-9 Tablet after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Low-fibre diet during flare-ups: During active ulcerative colitis episodes, consider eating low-fibre foods like white bread, pasta, and well-cooked vegetables to reduce bowel irritation and diarrhoea.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration, which can worsen symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease and help maintain healthy bowel function.
