Is there a long-term treatment for my ulcerative colitis?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 29 years old, and I have had ulcerative colitis for 10 years. And stomach-related issues from the last 17 years. I am currently taking Pentasa 1 g and Nexpro L early morning. Even after taking these medicines, I am suffering from gas, bloating, indigestion, and constipation. Please suggest a routine or a new treatment.
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Regarding your symptoms of indigestion and constipation following co-morbid ulcerative colitis, I suggest you take the following medicines.
- Injection Inflixumab 5 mg/kg at zero, two and six weeks, then eight weeks thereafter.
- Tablet Simethicone 180 mg twice daily.
- Tablet Gestid 20 ml thrice daily.
- Capsule Erythromycin 500 mg twice daily.
- Syrup liquid paraffin 20 ml twice daily.
Eat fruits and vegetables. If your symptoms persist, please revert.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
