My son has been drinking mesalamine on pills , he has Crohn’s and has an ileostomy bag .. his rectum started bleeding so doctor sent antibiotics, prednisone and hydrocortisone enemas which they did not work at all . He was drinking mesalamine on pills and we started mesalamine suppositories . Mesalamine suppository I only Applied one to his rectum and it was an explosion of blood . The next day he was in the ER , dehydrated , had massive amount of blood 3 times from His rectum ..first time with a colitis flare after ileostomy bag and mesalamine made it worst .. don’t recommend it at all . Be careful with this medicine . It’s very strong .Read More Read Less

Had ulceration of the rectum with inflammation. Started on this medication and following my first treatment, I noticed my rectal bleeding had stopped. The only side effect that I noticed was cramping and gas but eventually went away.

This medicine helped induce UC remission within days. While the administration takes a little getting used to, it’s not too bad and has helped my symptoms so much.

Easy to use, you get used to the enema feeling after a few uses. In remission, suffer from mild cramps and urgency. Overall works very well for me.

I used this for a little over a week and ended up with pancreatitis, which I later learned it can be a side effect.

Administering this treatment has proven to be a bit of a hassle for me. I dislike the extra effort and prefer taking pills orally, however the treatment does have an immediate cooling sensation that brings comfort. I too have notice being a bit backed up for a few days following this treatment.

After 21 years of remission, I experienced a full blown flare up. With 20+ bathrooom trips a day I had bloating, gas, spasms, pain and bleeding. Witnin five days of use, Im back in remission. It's a miracle.

This worked for me for about 4-5 months, now the effectiveness is minimizing. Blood and mucous is back daily. I may need to pursue another treatment.

I have had ulcerative colitis for twenty years. When I do have a mild to moderate flare-up mesalamine has been effective and sooths my pain and diarrhea within a few days of usage. The benefits far outweigh any mild side-effects of mild cramping upon insertion.

I have used this drug for 5 days now. I am constipated and bloated!! With the exception of expelling some of the meds in the morning I have not had a bowel movement to speak of in a few days. I had used the suppositories in the past with better luck, but I guess I need more medicine now. 2 more treatments to go!!

At first it was intimidating to use the product however it became easier over time. It relieved my chronic diarrhea except for the morning (daily)urgent bowel movements to vacate the bowel of the medicine. I much prefered this type of medicating over oral ingestion. This goes "100% right to the source" and starts working rather quickly.
