BETAPAR vs EOHILIA
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that stimulates adenylyl cyclase, increasing cAMP levels, leading to bronchodilation.
EOHILIA (budesonide) is a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity. It binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to inhibition of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites, thereby reducing inflammation in the esophagus.
Initial: 25 mg orally twice daily; may increase gradually to 100 mg twice daily based on tolerance and response.
For adults: 0.5 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks, infused over 60 minutes. Maximum single dose: 40 mg.

Terminal elimination half-life is 3-5 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged to 10-20 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Terminal elimination half-life is 52 hours (steady state reached after 10-12 days of daily dosing)
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for 60-70% of elimination; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for 20-30%; the remainder undergoes hepatic metabolism.
Renal (70% unchanged drug), fecal (12%) and biliary (5%)
