"I have mild UC, and I was prescribed both Pentasa and Salofalk enema. I found that those two taken together work really great, and my symptoms disappeared after 5 days. Taking Pentasa (pill form) by itself did not help at all until I started the enema after a week."

"Excessive dry mouth, headache, ridiculous granule formulation, which makes no difference to mode of action. Won't be using again."

"I was on Salofalk enema for two weeks and didn't see improvement in my ulcerative colitis until day 13. By then, I was done dosing. After a few days, bleeding again. Doctor put me back on for another 14 days, same thing happened. Improvement on day 13 and then was done dosing. After 8 days, symptoms came back with a vengeance. I'm now on my third week to see if I'm responding to treatment but just need more than two weeks on it. I'm tired of it all. Been suffering since March. Doc doesn't think I need a colonoscopy. Symptoms are identical to colon cancer, yet he is so sure without any diagnostic testing that it's not cancer."
