What Are The Side Effects Of Budesonide?

I was on Budesomide (Entocort) for 7 yrs. Took care of my microscopic colitis like a charm. No side effects that I am aware of. I am 60 yrs old. We moved, new doctor. when he became aware of the lengh of time taken, he about had a fit. Put me on pepto tablets, 8-10 a day as needed. Did the job for 2 years. Recently having old symptoms gain. The same doctor now says wants me to go bake Budesonide. I am wary about possible side effects. Should I be?
