Deciding on the best way to use my ulcerative colitis medicines
Ulcerative colitis (UC) causes inflammation and ulcers (small sores) to form in the lining of the large bowel. Medicines called aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) can help reduce inflammation and control symptoms. You can use these medicines in several ways (oral, rectal or a combination of both). This guide can help you decide which type of 5-ASA to use and what questions to ask your healthcare team.
