How does EOHILIA work
Specifically formulated for the esophagus
EOHILIA is the first and only 12-week, FDA-approved oral treatment designed for people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) 11 years and older. It is a liquid-like form of budesonide specifically formulated to treat inflammation in the esophagus. While the exact way budesonide works on EoE inflammation is not known, EOHILIA works on a wide range of inflammatory cells.
The symptoms of EoE, like trouble swallowing and inflammation, are primarily focused in the esophagus.
EoE inflammation is caused by a buildup of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) and other inflammatory cells in the esophagus.
EOHILIA is a liquid-like form of budesonide designed to treat inflammation in the esophagus. Upon shaking, EOHILIA gets more fluid for swallowing and then regains its original form.
EOHILIA is designed to help reduce the number of eosinophils and other cells that contribute to EoE inflammation.
Relief is defined as a decrease in eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the esophagus and improvement in dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), as demonstrated by EOHILIA in two 12-week clinical trials.

How to take EOHILIA
The information below is not all you need to know. Please refer to the Instructions for Use for complete information on how to take EOHILIA and talk to your healthcare provider.
Each EOHILIA stick pack (oral administration, single-dose, 2 mg/10 mL) is premixed and provides consistent dosing every time you take it. An easy schedule to remember is “Once in the morning. Once in the evening.”
The EOHILIA on-the-go stick packs do not need to be refrigerated. EOHILIA should be stored at controlled room temperatures between 36°F to 77°F (2°C to 25°C). Do NOT freeze.
Do not mix EOHILIA with food or liquid. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice during treatment with EOHILIA. Do not eat or drink when taking EOHILIA and for at least 30 minutes after taking EOHILIA.
The three-step overview for taking EOHILIA
1. Shake & snip
Shake the stick pack well for at least 10 seconds before opening. Using scissors, cut along the dotted line straight across the top of the stick pack.
2. Squeeze & swallow
Take EOHILIA by squeezing the stick pack from bottom to the top directly into the mouth. Repeat 2 to 3 times until all medicine is given. Swallow all the EOHILIA suspension. Discard the empty stick pack in the household trash.

Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after taking EOHILIA. After 30 minutes, rinse your mouth with water and spit out the contents without swallowing.
