How CORTIMENT ® works: topical rather than systemic steroid
CORTIMENT ® is a topical steroid which means the active ing redient is
targeted to the site of inflammation. Systemic steroids however, such
as prednisolone, are distributed throughout the whole body
CORTIMENT ® ’s specially designed outer coating protects the active
ingredient until it reaches the lower part of the small in testine where
it dissolves
The unique MMX ® technology then releases budesonide at a controlled
rate throughout the whole colon, thus targeting the site of inflammation
to help get your symp toms back under control (also termed remission)
