4.2     Posology and method of administration
Posology

Adults aged > 18 years
One actuation of 2 mg budesonide daily.

Paediatric population
Budeson rectal foam should not be used in children due to insufficient experience in this age group.

Method of administration

Budeson rectal foam can be applied in the morning or evening.
The canister is first fitted with an applicator and then shaken for about 15 seconds before the applicator is inserted into the rectum as far as comfortable. Note that the dose is only sufficiently accurate when the pump dome is held downwards as vertically as possible. To administer a dose of Budeson rectal foam, the pump dome is fully pushed down and very slowly released. Following the activation the applicator should be held in position for 10 - 15 seconds before being withdrawn from the rectum.

The best results are obtained when the intestine is evacuated prior to administration of Budeson rectal foam.

Duration of treatment

The attending physician determines the duration of use. An acute episode generally subsides after 6 to 8 weeks. Budeson rectal foam should not be used after this period of time.
