Trial demonstrates efficacy of inhaled budesonide to treat COVID-19 in the community
Findings from the PRINCIPLE trial suggest that inhaled budesonide can improve recovery time and could reduce hospital admissions or death from COVID-19 if administered early.
By Julia Robinson | 11 August 2021
Inhaled budesonide should be considered for patients with COVID-19 who are at higher risk of complications in the community, according to results from a UK-wide clinical study.
The 'Platform Randomised Trial of Treatments in the Community for Epidemic and Pandemic Illnesses' (PRINCIPLE) is the first randomised trial to demonstrate effectiveness of inhaled budesonide to treat COVID-19 in the community.
It builds on earlier evidence from the phase II 'Steroids in COVID-19' (STOIC) trial, which found that early administration of inhaled budesonide reduced the likelihood of needing urgent medical care and reduced time to recovery after early COVID-19.
Findings from the PRINCIPLE trial, published in the Lancet on 10 August 2021, suggested that inhaled budesonide improves recovery time and could potentially reduce hospital admissions or death.
Eligible participants included those who were aged 65 years or older, or aged 50 years or older with comorbidities, who had been unwell for up to 14 days with suspected COVID-19, but had not been admitted to hospital.

Scott, thank you so very much for such great articles and I'm well aware that it takes courage to continue to post them in today's climate. It is certain that I'm not the only one praying for your protection and continued wisdom in selecting what to post. May our Father reward you greatly for the instruction and comfort that we receive from reading your blog.
Hey and thanks so much for that - and its really timely because I have started having concerns about this which is really incredible that we have reached a time that you can't even debate various issues especially medical issues - which has always been the cornerstone of medicine - is debating things such at treatments etc...Grand rounds usually turn into academic debates which are interesting and enhance learning. I'm already not posting certain things, and I am now reading we can lose our medical license if we disagree on the 'consensus" relating to all things covid...So I Greatly appreciate it and can use all the prayers I can get in this - many thanks and God Bless
I too appreciate what you are passing a long. Lord bless you mightily!
How available is this inhaler?
tsgs, I googled it and it looks like Walgreens has it over the counter at a very reasonable price if you are interested.
You can also get intranasal steroids (OTC) and put them in a nebulizer (add 50% saline) and inhale it that way.
Scott, I absolutely find your articles most informative! Please don't stop putting out great information! Much appreciated!!
