Ulcerative Colitis
"I would rate this drug 10/10 only for the fact that the beneficial effects wear of too quickly when the course finishes (usually a reducing six week course for me). The impact initially is dramatic, with nearly all symptoms disappearing in 2 to 4 days. Wonder drug from this perspective.  Since I&#039;m not prescribed for longer than six weeks during major flare-ups I&#039;m not sure of what the side affects with higher doses or longer treatment are like, but I do remember having large doses in hospital when first diagnosed 16 years ago and losing hair, moon face, etc."
