	<li>Since budesonide is a glucocorticoid, general warnings concerning glucocorticoids should be followed.</li>
	<li>Risk of impaired adrenal function when transferring from glucocorticoid treatment with higher systemic effects to glucocorticoid treatment with lower systemic effects, such as budesonide. Taper patients slowly from systemic corticosteroids if transferring to budesonide.</li>
	<li>Potential worsening of infections (e.g., chickenpox, measles, existing tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection). Use with caution in patients with these infections.</li>
	<li>Reduced liver function affects the elimination of glucocorticoid, and increases systemic availability of oral budesonide.</li>
