Medication help
Why I ask for suggestion is that, I have changed country in between and visited 4 doctors. Now that I am not sure, if the treatment given is right or wrong. I need help. Please let me know if this is ok. What have you been prescribed. Any better alternative I should ask Doctor?
I have diagnosed for UC at end of 2024. Since then I was taking 4.5g of Mesalasine Salofalk granules every morning.
I was still getting flares. I took Azithromycin 6 days due to E.coli found in stool on August 2025. Flares stopped.
I almost ate everything. Negative tests for stool Calprotectin and no blood found in stool.
Due to stress or fasting (don't know which one), I got flares again. Mild one though. It stayed.
July 1st, 2026, I got sigmoidoscopy due to heavy blood loss and found UC has intensified. But 3g per day of Mesalasine didn't work. Also suppositories.
I started taking prednisone 20mg. Doctor suggested to take 30mg. I experienced hand tremors on the first day of dose. So I took only 20mg. Things stopped.
Next day I stop prednisone, flare comes back again. Doctor told me to take 20 days of prednisone. I started again
