Ulcerative 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.

Raised Liver Markers - Octasa/ Mesalamine?
The only difference since my last blood test is that I’ve started taking
Octasa
. Has anyone else heard of, or experienced any liver problems with Mesalamine meds? Perhaps they’re not connected but it’s the only connection I can make, and curious to know.

Octasa and Diarrhea
Is this a normal side effect of
Octasa
, and if so, how long might it last? It's tricky going from being symptom free on steroids l, to back to diarrhea again! Thanks for reading/replying!

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher after the course) and I started
Octasa
800mg (6 a day) about 2 months ago.

Is it safe to take mesalazine/octasa long term?
Hi everyone, I'm Claire and was diagnosed with mild/moderative ulcerative colitis last year. Apart from an initial flare up (followed by diagnostic procedures leading to the diagnosis), my only symptoms have been an uncomfortable/slightly painful feeling in my stomach/upper intestine. My gastroenterologist

Pressure in rectum
I take
Octasa
1600mg three times a day. In recent weeks however, I have been having significant rectal pain. A feeling of pressure and discomfort which is there most of the day. I’m going to the toilet 4 times a day on average hence it’s not getting a chance to rest.

Calprotectin level 1500
Have been prescribed Prednisolone tablets,
Octasa
tablets and Ad-Cal. Shocked at how many I have to take every day, on top of the meds I already take.

Octasa 800mg MR and slow metabolism?
I had one a few days ago and saw 2 of my
Octasa
tablets in amongst...well you know what I'm referring to LOL. I've posted about this before and was asked whether it was just the outer shell of the tablet that was in amongst it and I didn't know the answer. So, this time I investigated.

Back after 10 years of remission (Safe Bloating & constipation relief)
Around 4-6 months after I decided to try and stop taking
Octasa
despite my doctor advising otherwise. I had felt perfectly fine without it and wanted if it came back to manage it in other ways first. Now after all this time it is back.
