Brief Answer:
A steroid medication

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Budesonide is a steroid medication that has anti-inflammatory properties that work by decreasing the immune response of the body...

This medication is used to treat certain bowel conditions (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis). However, budesonide does not cure these conditions, it may decrease symptoms such as pain and diarrhea.

I hope I answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
