Reviews of Mesacol

In recent years, more commonly with NNK and Crohn's disease, 5-aminosalicylic acid preparations have been used, compared to sulfosazine. This drug is effective for light and moderate severity of NUC flow. The use of Mesacol allows controlling the course of the disease in 60% of patients. After remission is reached, the drug is used for maintenance treatment. It is successfully used as a basic therapy for this disease. Advantages of this drug are: proven effectiveness, the ability to use from 2 years, the minimum amount of side effects (compared with sulfasalazine). In the reviews, patients often compare the two above described remedies and give preference to one or the other, depending on individual tolerability and effectiveness.
    "... Personally, I had a remission of this drug. Prior to him, he drank Salofalk - without result. "
    "... I accept this one for two reasons - it is better for the large intestine and, moreover, it is cheaper."
    "... I tried both. There are fewer sideburns after Mesacol - I think from the fact that it is later released and absorbed even less. "
    "... I combine 2 drugs - I put Salofalk candles and I drink Mesacol tablets. You can not get away from the pills - it starts to aggravate. "
    "... I tried to take Mesacol, but it got worse (the liver began to ache, there was blood in the stool). Again I went to Salofalk. "
    "... I was appointed more than a year ago. I drink constantly, but in a maintenance dose, there are changes in blood. Tried to give up, but immediately the aggravation begins. That's the circle and closed. "
