Rafacol 9mg Tablet

Rafacol 9mg Tablet is an oral corticosteroid formulation used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It works by locally reducing inflammation in the intestinal tract, helping to relieve abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other intestinal symptoms without causing significant systemic steroid effects.

Budesonide belongs to the class of glucocorticoids and is formulated for controlled or extended release to target the intestines directly, minimizing side effects compared with conventional oral steroids. It acts on the intestinal mucosa to reduce swelling, redness, and immune-related irritation.

This medication is prescribed for mild to moderate active Crohn’s disease involving the ileum or ascending colon and for ulcerative colitis where inflammation affects the lower digestive tract.
