Is Your Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Under Control?
Control of UC can mean fewer flares
Control of your UC can mean fewer flares. Fewer flares can make a big difference in how you are able to live your life, by giving you added confidence to go about your everyday activities.
Whether you found out recently that you have UC or have been living with it for years, you should work with your doctor to make sure you are doing everything possible to gain control of your UC.
You may know people with high blood pressure or diabetes who have to take special care of themselves because of their conditions. They may even have to take daily medicines to help them stay as healthy as possible and reduce the risk of medical complications. The issues that people with UC deal with aren't so different.
The key to controlling UC is working with your doctor to find an effective treatment. The next step is to commit to following your treatment plan.

You should not take Lialda if you are allergic to salicylates (including mesalamine or aspirin) or to any of the ingredients of Lialda. Tell your doctor if you have a stomach blockage or are allergic to sulfasalazine. Mesalamine has been associated with a syndrome that may be difficult to distinguish from an ulcerative colitis flare-up. If you experience cramping, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, fever, headache or rash, talk to your doctor immediately. Some patients taking mesalamine have reported heart-related hypersensitivity reactions, such as inflammation of the heart muscle and inflammation of the lining of the heart. Tell your doctor if you have problems with your liver or kidneys. In worldwide clinical trials, Lialda was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events were headache and flatulence. As with other medications, some serious side effects may occur. Less than 1% of patients experienced inflammation of the pancreas, which led to discontinuation of therapy with Lialda.
