$0$0$04.3Deletion: $0$0Hepaticcirrhosis with signs ofportal hypertension eg late stage primary biliary cirrhosis$0$04.4Added:$0$0Systemic effects of glucocorticosteroidsmay occur, particularly when prescribed at high doses and for prolongedperiods. Such effects may include Cushing’s syndrome, adrenal suppression,growth retardation, decreased bone mineral density, cataract, glaucoma and awide range of psychiatric/behavioural effects (see section 4.8).$0$0Patients with liver function disorders$0$0Based onthe experience with patients suffering from late stage primary biliarycirrhosis (PBC) with hepatic cirrhosis an increased systemic availability ofbudesonide in all patients with severely impaired hepatic function is to beexpected.$0$0However,in patients with liver disease without hepatic cirrhosis budesonide in dailydoses of 9 mg was safe and well tolerated. There is no evidence that aspecific dose recommendation for patients with non-cirrhotic liver diseases oronly slightly impaired liver function is necessary.$0$0Visual disturbance$0$0Visualdisturbance may be reported with systemic and topical corticosteroid use. If apatient presents with symptoms such as blurred vision or other visualdisturbances, the patient should be considered for referral to anophthalmologist for evaluation of possible causes which may include cataract,glaucoma or rare diseases such as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) whichhave been reported after use of systemic and topical corticosteroids.$0$04.5Added:$0$0Co-treatmentwith CYP3A inhibitors, including cobicistat-containing products, is expected toincrease the risk of systemic side-effects. The combination should be avoidedunless the benefit outweighs the increased risk of systemic corticosteroidside-effects, in which case patients should be monitored for systemiccorticosteroid side-effects.$0$0Because adrenal function may be suppressed by treatment withbudesonide, an ACTH stimulation test for diagnosing pituitary insufficiencymight show false results (low values).$0$04.6  Reworded/expanded:$0$0Pregnancy$0$0Administration during pregnancy should be avoided unless there arecompelling reasons for therapy with Budenofalk 3mg. There are few data ofpregnancy outcomes after oral administration of budesonide in humans. Althoughdata on the use of inhaled budesonide in a large number of exposed pregnanciesindicate no adverse effect, the maximal concentration of budesonide in plasmahas to be expected to be higher in the treatment with Budenofalk 3mg comparedto inhaled budesonide. In pregnant animals, budesonide, like otherglucocorticosteroids, has been shown to cause abnormalities of fetaldevelopment (see section 5.3). The relevance of this to man has not beenestablished.$0$0Breast-feeding$0$0Budesonide is excreted in human milk (data on excretion afterinhalative use is available).  However, only minor effects on thebreast-fed child are anticipated after Budenofalk 3mg intake within thetherapeutic range. A decision must be made whether to discontinuebreast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from budesonide therapy taking intoaccount the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapyfor the woman.$0$04.8 Added$0$0$0$0Blurred vision.  Aggression, psychomotor hyperactivity,anxiety$0$0$0
