Seren,

Anytime you get a severe reaction of that type from any medication, you should stop taking the medication, rather than to continue taking it and use another medication to counteract the side effects of the first one. Not everyone can tolerate budesonide, and those individuals are certainly not candidates for long-term use of the drug.

That's true only for individuals who are taking a conventional corticosteroid (not budesonide), or they are taking a higher dose of budesonide. Of course it would also be true of any patient who shouldn't be taking budesonide in the first place (because of an adverse reaction to the drug).
