Asacol I took it did not help at all
Hi,
Ulcerative colitis is disease of exacerbations and remissions. Medications to induce remission are as 5-ASA products (e.g., Lialda®, Asacol®, Pentasa®, Dipentum®, etc.) and prednisolone/cyclosporins. The last two medications have more side effects especially on long term usage. Therefore, you need to discuss with your doctor about the possibility of switching your medication to 5-ASA compounds. However it depends upon the severity of your disease.
Management also depends upon the part of the gut which is affected by ulcerative colitis. Left lower side of colon can be treatred with enema or suppositories where as the right side needs systemic (oral ) therapy.
Take care and write in if you need more information.
Regards

What you talking bout arnold????????
Long term use of high dose prednisone is linked to development of malignancies. It is a useful drug, but should be prescribed judiciously and infrequently.

Hi
Prednisolone is usually given for the management of chronic inflammatory conditions.
One of the side effects of Prednisolone is infection (due to decreased immunity) which could lead to thrush. It can also cause gastritis/ulcers so I suggest that you consult your doctor for evaluation of symptoms and titration of the dosage.
Let us know if you need more information.
