Experiences with

Pentasa

Does anybody have really loose and explosive motion in the morning after taking Pentasa. I have stopped taking them for the last 3 nights to see if makes any difference, I have been to the loo a little less and more of struggle to go even though feel the need to go.

After seeing the consultant in May this year she confirmed it was mild colitis and prescribed more Pentasa. I was told to take as and when required. I started on one every other day to see how it went, I seem to have good and bad days but still going to the loo 3-4 times a day.

Hi, I posted a little while ago both my pregnancies gave me piles, never really cleared had an colonoscopy and I had Cronic proctitis she washed all the mucus and what ever away and put me on a 2 week dose of Pentasa suppositories. 2 a day. I was discharged.

I also wondered whether it could be caused by Pentasa? Thanks

A first flexible sigmoidoscopy revealed inflammation in 2017 and I felt today the conclusion was no inflammation (I’ve been taking steroid rectal foam and pentasa suppositories).

Today I had my first gastroenterology appointment and was given Pentasa Slow Release Tablets 1g and mri in three months to check bowels and liver. Anyone have any problems with this medication. Obviously it’s early days & starting off low. Any advise is good advice.

My doctor back home only diagnosed me and put me on Pentasa and said to use it every night for a week and then ever 2nd night for a long time until I have no more symptoms (then like 1-2 times a week).

I am currently using Pentasa suppositories. We just got married (14 December 2018) and my husband is really supportive of my condition and tries his best to help me where ever he can. However, everything is new to us both. The main reason for joining is: We plan to start a family soon.

I also take omeprazole for complications of a hiatus hernia and pentasa for well controlled chronns. One side effect of the Spiro for me is weight gain and quite tender boobs. This seems to be common amongst people taking this drug and I wondered if anyone has any solutions.

Until last year I thought I was doing okay on Azathioprine and a low dose of Pentasa, following my last surgery 11 years ago, which left me with only approx 1.1 metres of small bowel. Any occasional 'glitches', I would increase my Pentasa as I saw fit, but these were few and far between.

Taking mycophenolate, ranatidine, omoperazole and Pentasa. Had a head MRI and had back of my eyes checked out but nothing revealed cause for headaches. It’s like a dull ache at back of head and cones and gies during the day and is worse in evening and is getting hard to cope with.

On humira injections weekly and Pentasa daily too x

I've also been put on Pentasa but the tablets are ginormous, you can apparently dissolve them in water but when I did the grains just sat at the bottom of the glass - does anyone know if you can get Pentasa in a powder form or smaller tablets?

I was diagnosed with indeterminate colitis and been on Pentasa 4x500mg a day. I now have to take folic acid and vitamin D for deficiency as well. I now feel worse. Has anyone else felt worse taking folic acid?

Hi everyone, In as brief as I can I was diagnosed with UC in May this year with a severe flare, no drug treatment has worked so far - 3 different types of enemas, Pentasa, 2 courses of Prednisolone and now Mercaptopurine (6MP).

Currently on Pentasa 1g Ramipril 2.5g and Adcal. Also take a daily dose of Symprove probiotic but am going to change to VSL#3 when the 12 week programmer has finished in a couple of weeks. Has anyone tried Bimuno ibaid by any chance?
