Patients must review their medical history with a doctor before taking this medication. Points of note include a history of high blood pressure, tuberculosis, liver disease, or eczema. The patient should also let their doctor know about any history of measles, chickenpox, or other infections. In addition, their doctor will ask if they have a family history of glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetes.

This review is vital, as budesonide may not be safe for individuals with a personal or family history of these conditions. Patients should not breastfeed during treatment with this medication. Since this medicine can weaken the immune system, patients should inform their doctor right away if they notice signs of infection. Examples of such signs include tiredness, fever, chills, and vomiting.
