Budesonide without any covid symptoms.

2021-05-04 12:24:59
As mentioned in digital media and Lancet journal, I bought budesonide (400mcg). The question is, "can we use it without any covid symptoms as a precautionary measure". My father(57, diabetic) and mother(50, hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis). Can my parents use it as well? Thank you.

Nope. Never. We use steroids very judiciously. Should consult a physician before taking one

Never self medicate yourself. Steroids are not recommended for any prophylactic measures against covid19 infection. For further assistance kindly take a consultation.
