Key Words	Microscopic colitis; Budesonide; Mesalazine; Immunosuppressants
Core Tip	The efficacy of short-term treatment of microscopic colitis with budesonide is confirmed. Long-term therapy is not advisable because of possible side effects, but the efficacy of alternative drugs such as immunosuppressants or anti-tumor necrosis factor agents remains to be established. For the time being prolonged budesonide treatment in minimal doses, tailored on the single patient, appears to be the most sensible option.
