Doctor Advice For The Treatment Of Colon Ulcer
UpdatedI am suffering from colone ulcer from last more than five years.i am doing colonoscopy test frequently and taking sazo500mg two tablets trice daily.i want any other medecine or treatment is available for me.frequently i suffering gastic problem,loose motion,join pain and bowel problem.Pls advice.
My Age is 60 years.
In the Last week of May-2011, I noticed that I am having some bowel problem. I found that I was having frequent bowel easing sensation. I found that early morning stool passing contained some blood traces and mucus. I took following medicines on the advice of general physician: 1. Tab Oflomac oz twice a day x 3 days. 2. Tab Daflon 500 twice a day x 3 days. 3. Meftal Forte twice a day x 3 days. I did not recover after this treatment. On the advice of senior Consultant- Gastroenterologist I underwent FULL COLONOSCOPY(CECUM..) and BIOPSY on 14-JUNE-2011. Colonoscopy report Findings are: RECTUM- Lower 10Cm diffusely hyperemic and friable mucosa; SIGMOID/ DESCENDING/ TRANSVERSE/ ASCENDING COLON- Normal; CAECUM-normal; TERMINAL ILEUM- not examined; BIOPSY- yes; IMPRESSION- ULCERATIVE COLITIS PROCTITIS. I was diagnosed with ULCERATIVE COLITIS. On his prescription I took (1) daily dose of one tab of Vegaz-OD (containing mesalamine usp 1.2g- as extended release) for 2 weeks. (2) applied before going to bed a candle of mesacol (Rx Mesalamine) suppository for 2 weeks. I noticed that my ailment got controlled.
On my second visit to the specilist on 28-Jun-2011, I was advised to stop using the suppository and continue using Vegaz-OD for 3- months. I find that my ailment is under control during the medication period. I am due to visit the doctor on 28-Sep-2011.
I hereby request you please advise me further regarding medicines and any test required.

I am suffering from UC since last 12 years. Symptoms been On and Off. I am adviced not to stop Vizag OD and continue with a maintenance dose all the time.
hello, i am 20 yrs old. itz strange to hear that GARIMA you have this problem since 12 yrs??? itz too mch.. m afraid.. please tell whch doctor are you consulting??? have many doubts..
Divey Sachdeva : As per my study. This is a chronic disease and you need to have a good control of food and lifestyle. I showed to multiple docs and everyone suggests to continue the medicines. Mesalamine is a safe medicine and people can take it for a long time.
Doctors do not advice to stop medication once we get UC. But slowly dosages are reduced.
I am currently fit and in remission.I am having Vegaz OD/ or Mesacol tabs continously since last 1.5 years.
All you need is to be positive, change your dietary habits (eat everything but make sure they are hygenic because this issue is related to immune system), avoid stress because I have observed that whenever I got the relapse, it was a hectic and stessful period and i did not concentrate on food and health..
Mr Purakkash Gupita: I am not a doctor but after 12-13 years of experience with UC, all I can say is just get yearly colonoscopy and be regular on meds. Follow what doc says and do not worry :)
My best wishes to all of you and lets help each other in this forum.

PBM : Have you shown to a good gastro doc??? There are better meds thn SAZO. there is a possibility that you have joint pain because of Sazo. Consult the doc and try to switch to Mesalamine if he suggest. It has lesser side effects.

Hi. I have had an ulcer since November 2004 and it was under control until this August with colonoscopies and Intazide caps. At times I took suppositories, enema, now taking Mesacol od 1.2 - 2 together after breakfast because for the past few days I've been feeling an urgency to pass stool and can't hold it for very long. It's brownish watery in the beginning then softer. Then yesterday i did a fecal calprotectin evaluation and the result is positive with 3000. Now my doctor says do a colonoscopy but I'm very scared of it and also having an anxiety and depression problem. My hemoglobin has fallen to 9.4 because I'm scared of scopy, so i forced my doctor to suggest me some medicine for it. He asked to take 4 Mesacol od 1.2 in a day and Mesacol suppository 1 Gm once a day after passing stools. Now i need to know if there's still a need for a colonoscopy? I'm really scared and worried doc. Pls help me. Thank u.
