Rafacol Cr Tablet

Rafacol Cr Tablet is a corticosteroid medication widely used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system’s overactive response in the intestinal tract, providing long-lasting relief from symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.

Budesonide belongs to the class of glucocorticoids, which act locally in the intestines to reduce swelling, redness, and irritation. Compared to systemic steroids, Budesonide has a lower risk of side effects because it undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism, limiting its impact on the rest of the body.

This medication is commonly prescribed to induce remission in mild to moderate Crohn’s disease involving the ileum and ascending colon, as well as ulcerative colitis. It helps restore normal bowel function, prevents flare-ups, and supports overall intestinal healing.
