Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Ever since I have been taking Budesonide EC 3MG I have rashes on my legs mostly below the knee. I originally thought they are spider bites as they itch severely and I keep scratching till they bleed. Have never had anything like this before. Also I have Osteoprosis and get a Prolia injection every six months and Budesonide decreases been density. Do you think I should continue taking this medication. I appreciate you answer
It could be an allergic reaction. As a first line management you can take antihistamine like Cetirizine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
