Question

I'm concerned about my mom's health. She's been diagnosed with bronchitis and the doctor has prescribed her budecort 200 rotocap capsules. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to continue taking these capsules. Could there be any potential side effects or interactions we should be aware of? Would appreciate your insight.
