Budesonide EC (enteric-coated) is designed to resist stomach acid and dissolve in the intestines, releasing the medication there. Budesonide ER (extended-release) releases the drug slowly over time, providing a prolonged effect as it passes through the digestive tract. The choice between them depends on the specific condition being treated and the desired site of action in the gut.
