Abstract

Budesonide is a glucocorticoid characterized by its local action, with a low systemic bioavailability. Since the original trial comparing budesonide with prednisone in 2010, it is recommended as an effective alternative for the treatment of non-severe acute or chronic autoimmune hepatitis. In this document, we review the general pharmacologic properties of glucocorticoids, the available evidence for the use of budesonide as first line option for autoimmune hepatitis as well as the safety profile of the drug.

Resumen

La budesonida es un glucocorticoide que se caracteriza por su acción local, con una baja biodisponibilidad sistémica. Desde el ensayo original publicado en 2010, en el que se comparó la budesonida con prednisona, se recomienda como una alternativa eficaz en el tratamiento de los pacientes con hepatitis autoinmune aguda o crónica no grave. En este documento, revisamos las propiedades farmacológicas generales de los glucocorticoides, la evidencia disponible para el uso de budesonida como fármaco de primera línea en estos pacientes, así como el perfil de seguridad del fármaco.
