The association between drugs and repeated treatment with budesonide in patients with microscopic colitis: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Smoking and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and statins have been associated with microscopic colitis (MC).
