Ulcerative Colitis
"I have ulcerative sigmoiditis &amp; proctitis. I couldn&#039;t retain rowasa very long. The GE switched me to sulfasalazine, first 4/day which worked for a few months, then 8/day which worked for two-three years. I still had flare-ups a few times per year. Then he upped it to 16/day, but that only worked for about a year. I was having flare-ups all the time, I was tired of taking pills, so I asked my PCP to try me on another drug, Apriso. I was in the middle of a flare-up, so it took a few weeks to kick in. But that&#039;s the last flare up I&#039;ve had. It&#039;s 4 capsules only, once per day, and I haven&#039;t had a flare-up since I started taking it about 5 years ago. I have not noticed any side effects."
