Mesalamine suppositories

You need to stay on the oral...it's not an either/or regarding UC (in my opinion). I don't have personal experience re using steroid enemas except one course of the foam. They were amazingly easy to...

Who has had UC for over 25 years and never taken anything stronger than mesalamine?
