`
`Indication for UCERIS
`
`UCERIS extended release tablets are a prescription corticosteroid medicine used to help get mild to
`®
`moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) under control (induce remission).
`
`Important Safety Information about UCERIS
`
`UCERIS (budesonide) extended release tablets are not for everyone. Do not take UCERIS extended
`®
`release tablets if you are allergic to budesonide or any of the ingredients in UCERIS.
`
`UCERIS is a steroid. When UCERIS extended release tablets are taken for a long period of time, the
`adrenal glands do not make enough steroid hormones. Tell your healthcare provider if you are under stress
`or have any of the following symptoms: tiredness, vomiting, weakness, low blood pressure, and nausea.
`
`UCERIS may weaken your immune system. Taking medicines that weaken your immune system makes
`you more likely to get infections. Avoid contact with people who have contagious diseases such as chicken
`pox or measles while taking UCERIS extended release tablets.
`
`Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and overthecounter
`vitamins, and herbal supplements. UCERIS extended release tablets and other medicines may affect each
`other and cause side effects. If you take certain other steroid medicines to treat allergies, switching to
`UCERIS extended release tablets may cause your allergies to come back. These allergies may include
`eczema (a skin disease) or rhinitis (inflammation inside your nose). Tell your healthcare provider if any of
`your allergies become worse while taking UCERIS extended release tablets.
`
`Before you take UCERIS extended release tablets tell your healthcare provider if you have liver problems,
`are planning to have surgery, have an infection, have or had a family history of diabetes, cataracts or
`glaucoma, have or had tuberculosis, have high blood pressure (hypertension), have decreased bone
`mineral density (osteoporosis), stomach ulcers, or any other medical condition. Do not eat grapefruit or
`drink grapefruit juice while taking UCERIS. Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice can increase the
`level of this medicine in your blood.
`
`In clinical studies, the most common side effects (occurring in ≥ 2% of people) were headache, nausea,
`decreased blood cortisol (a hormone made by the adrenal glands), stomacharea pain, tiredness, stomach
`or intestinal gas, bloating, acne, urinary tract infection, joint pain, and constipation.
`
`You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit
`www.fda.gov/medwatch/ (http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/) or call 1800FDA1088.
