For Ulcerative Colitis, Maintenance "6MP is the first drug that’s put me into remission, and it’s been a long, long time since I’ve been in remission. I take it alongside Octasa, too. I still get some UC symptoms now and again, but for the first time in so long, I feel normal! However, I have had a huge amount of hair loss. Probably lost 1/3 of the hair on my head, and because of this, I’m being moved onto Humira. I hope this new drug stops my hair loss and keeps me in remission!"
