"I was diagnosed recently and started on Pentasa enema (night) and Salofalk suppositories (day) but found the Pentasa made little or no difference and I found it difficult to sleep. My nurse changed to Salofalk rectal foam and tonight is my first time using it. I followed the instructions but inserted both doses but then was unable to hold it in for longer than 20 minutes. This site and the reviews have been a pleasure to read :) especially the review which included information about side effects, including jaw pain. I was thinking 'now something else is wrong with me' but didn't want to tell the GP as I wondered if it's psychosomatic, so it was a relief to read that I'm not alone. I really wrote this to say thank you to everyone for sharing their personal experiences. I have found this diagnosis to be somewhat isolating and sometimes I feel I should be embarrassed to speak about my symptoms, so thank you all and I pray for us all to be well x"

"Hi, Salofalk appears to work fine as did Asocol before it. My only gripe is the plastic covering of the suppository. They are produced in 2 factories, one has a black/white covering, the other red/white. The B/W is easy to open but the R/W much more difficult. The ends you pull apart appear shorter and whereas the B/W has ribbing so you can grip the R/W one the ribbing appears photographed i.e no grip at all. Have complained to the company, to no avail"

"Works fast and easy to use. Easy to store and no side effects compared to Pentaza. Was recommended by pharmacist."
