I was recently prescribed Mesalamine Rectal Susp 7x60ml for my ulcerative colitis, and I wanted to share my experience so far. The medication is supposed to reduce inflammation directly in the colon and rectum, which has been a game-changer for me. I've noticed a significant decrease in symptoms like abdominal pain and bloody stools. However, I've also experienced some side effects like rectal irritation and occasional headaches, which can be frustrating. I wanted to know if anyone else has had similar experiences and if there are any tips for managing these side effects. Additionally, the list of serious side effects is quite concerning—the thought of something like kidney problems or an allergic reaction can be scary. Has anyone else had to deal with these, or is it mostly just the milder side effects? I'm really hoping that this medication continues to work for me, but I'd love to hear from others to get a better understanding of what to expect.
