What medications are recommended for inflammatory bowel disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: On disease location and severity. Mild colitis responds well to mesalamine, while moderate to severe colitis, or Crohn's disease require either an immunomodulator like mercaptopurine or methotrexate, or a biologic medication like Remicade, (infliximab) Humira, or Entyvio.
