I have been struggling with this disease for over 12 years and recently had a major flare up. My doctor prescribed me Pentasa and I took it for 1 week with no appreciable effects. He then added Entocort and within 3 days, my symptoms and problems were reduced by 90%!! This has been an excellent medication for me and has helped tremendously.

I am being treated with entocort for collagenous colitis and it has worked for me thus far. I have been on it for two months and am well satisfied. I do have a lower backache and leg cramps, not knowing if this could be a side effect. I am going to my physician today in regard to this matter and several other things.

Entocort has provided me relief from extreme back and joint pain. I was unable to sleep and had difficulty moving about. After 3 weeks I feel much much better with limited side effects.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease 1 year ago and had a bowl resection and was in remission with this drug and Remicade for 10 months. I never was completly relieved but did help. Now have active Crohn's again so we have added Azasan to the Entocort EC and Remicade hopefully we will slow it down...

I take Entocort with Humira and Imuran. I find it is very effective in reducing the severity of diarrhea.
