How can i take mesalazine for ulcerative colitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral or rectal: You can take them as pills, which would deliver medication to the entire colon. Or you can take an enema preparation, which would deliver the medication to the left side of the colon. This would only be useful for treating disease limited to the left side of the bowel.
