Comment:
This is the first and only medication I've used to treat my ulcerative colitis. It works amazing, but it's operator-error that leads to flare ups. My GI has me taking this 3x a day. If I forget a dose, my UC flares.

I've been on this med for the past couple of months, so far so good! It's been working to keep things under control for me without any side effects. I agree with some of the others about the trickiness of remembering to take the 3 afternoon pills everyday, other than that, no problems.
