Well, my last Remi infusion never really kicked in. It offered a slight improvement for a few days, then back to feeling unwell all the time, fatigued and in the bathroom a lot. Yesterday my GI decided to try me on Entocourt CR to hopefully get me out of this long flare and off the Prednisone completely. Love to hear anyone's experience with this drug and how long it took before you had results or knew it wasn't doing anything for you.

Thanks!

I have been on Entocort for over a year. I tried to wean myself from Colazal and put myself in a flare. Entocort was prescribed and the bleeding subsided within a few days. I have my post colonoscopy appt. with my GI in a couple of weeks. Depending on the results, maybe I can start to take a smaller dosage of either or both.

i tried it for a few months and didnt have any changes or improvements so i stopped as its $200 for me.

doctor wants me to go on it for maintenance when i get pregnant as i stopped the imuran for that reason.
so i will be trying it again next year.

entocort for me is called budesonide over here in australia.
