Budesonide Forums

I came close to dying due to severe head trauma after a drop in blood pressure and the fall. I am still trying to deal with these problems day by day. I deal with every day stress due to having a husband tha...

Can budesonide inhalation suspension come up as methamphetamine in an hair follicles on an nine months old child? ## Hi Shannon - just show them your child's prescription and there shouldn't be a problem. Budesonide has been known to come up as other things, there was even a study in Spain where this drug was causing people to fail the breathalyzer.[1] I should also ask, and no judgement here - but do you currently take methamphetamine or similar medications? Also, are you a breastfeeding mother? Hope this helps! Ref: [1] ## No not taking any meds, my son and mine came back clean but my baby come back with methamphetamine so I was curious about this medication which the doctor prescribed to my baby for breathing problems. No not taking medication and not breastfeeding just curi...
