What are some infusion medication for Crohns disease?
I am currently using Pentasa for my Crohns disease, but with an MRI my gastro guy says there is active inflammation. I had been using it for at least 10+ years, He says it's not controlling my inflammation anymore . What do I do now?
Hi
, that's too bad to hear that your current treatment isn't controlling your inflammation anymore. Unfortunately, it's not too uncommon for a treatment to begin to lose it's effectiveness after time. Luckily, there are a lot of different treatment options for Crohn's. I'm linking an article with information about types of treatment, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/treatment/treatment-type-ibd, as well as this one for types of medications, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/treatment/medications. I hope the articles can give you a starting point, but ultimately, this is a good discussion to have with your doctor. He may already have an idea for what treatment he would recommend trying next.
In the meantime, hopefully some of our community members here can chime in on treatments that they've found helpful in managing their inflammation from Crohn's, but please don't hesitate to reach out here, anytime! Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)Thank you Christine!
