A member asked:
Which crohn's disease medication is best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What works for you!: There are many medications for crohn's disease because none of them work for everyone and they all have side effects. Each patient is matched with the medication most likely to work with the least side effects. Medications often need to be changed. Steroids are often used to gain initial control but then removed when longer acting drugs with fewer side effects can take over.
