Pharmacology

Budesonid is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid preparation with a pronounced anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect. When used in therapeutic doses, it has practically no resorptive effect. Does not possess mineralocorticoid activity, is well tolerated with long-term treatment. The drug has an inhibitory effect on the release of inflammatory mediators, increases the synthesis of anti-inflammatory proteins, reduces the number of mast cells and eosinophilic granulocytes. Budesonide reduces the release of toxic proteins from eosinophils, free radicals from macrophages and lymphokines from lymphocytes. It also reduces the binding of adhesive molecules to endothelial cells, thus reducing the influx of leukocytes to the site of allergic inflammation.Budesonide increases the number of beta-adrenergic receptors of smooth muscles. The drug inhibits the activity of phospholipase 2A, which leads to inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and platelet activating factor (PAF), which induce an inflammatory response. Budesonide also inhibits histamine synthesis, which leads to a decrease in its level in mast cells.
Tafen® nasal spray nasal dosage reduces the severity of symptoms in allergic rhinitis, suppresses the late and early phases of the allergic reaction and reduces inflammation in the upper respiratory tract. Improvement is noted on the 2-3rd day after the start of treatment.
