Hi guys
Are there any other steroids besides prednisone and uceris?
What if steroids dont work for you? What would be the next step to bring down inflammation?

There's IV solumedrol (strongest), Prednisone (2nd strongest), and various budesonides (Uceris, entocort, etc which are the weakest).

If that doesn't work then there's double-dose remicade IV, or IV cyclosporine.

Presumably you can try biologics before IV steroids?
