Ulcerative proctitis

I have a severe proctitis.

The Dr. prescribed me with a Prednisolone suppositories 5mg twice daily plus started oral Mesalazine as Octasa 2.4g/day.

I’m on my 3rd week of the medication. But is not working properly.

I’m taking Octasa in the morning before breakfast (I tried to take it before dinner too) but not doing the job. I’m thinking to take the pills at night before bed. (Dr didn’t give me the best time to take it)

and the suppositories one at bed time and one in the morning after I empty my bawel.

Anyone is on this stage of the treatment and is taking this medicine? Any recommendations? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.
