Avatar m tn She put me on Asacol for about a month, no change, then finally we got to the Entocort EC. It has changed my life! I am normal again. The medicine took effect within 2 weeks, a drastic change in everything. I have been on it for 6 weeks now and today is my first taper off day. I am going to go down to 2 pills a day (6 mg) from the original dose of 9 mg. I will work towards 1 pill and then off.

Avatar n tn i am on entocort 3mg 2capsules a day. my liver enzymes were at 649 been on this drug for a month enzymes down to 169 dr. wants to put me on immuran 50mg with the entocort. does this sound good what side of effects can i expect?and what does this help?
456090 tn?1259694837 t know if this helps or not but my Gastro doc prescribed Entocort and Nexium to me. I also took Flagyl the first few weeks. That was an antibiotic. The Entocort is a steroid to help with the inflamation and ulcers and obviously the Nexium is for excess stomach acid. I guess it's working. I've been taking them for a few months now. They are still trying to figure out if I really have Crohns or not. If so, I guess I have a fairly mild form of it.
Avatar n tn They can't get into the jenunum with either the EGD or the colonoscopy, so you don't have an answer to whether or not you truly have Crohn's yet. And unless you have Crohn's colitis or ulcerative colitis, nothing would be seen in the large intestine. The SBFT will help give you an answer, but make sure you also discuss the pill camera and running a series of tests such as the Prometheus Serology 7 test which shows 'markers' for Crohn's in some individuals early on.
Avatar n tn While there isn't any concrete evidence that EC is hereditary, there is some speculation that a predisposition to Barret's might have a hereditary component. (It is also believed by some that while not everyone who gets Barrett's gets EC, everyone who gets EC had Barrett's.) As Ayri said, for peace of mind, having an EGD every two or three years is a prudent move. Also, following a GERD diet would be a very good idea.
1330108 tn?1333677304 I am doing EC with Ellie (elimination control Aka similar to potty training). I was wondering if anyone else has done it or is doing it.
Avatar n tn Can I ask you if you know anything about Entocort? My doctor told me to take this 3x day for 1 wk, 2x day for 1wk & 1x day for 1wk. Then I should see him again for another xray to see if the pill has passed. I am afraid of the affects of this steriod as I also have a stomach ulcer. Anyway, I have two little boys and I can't afford to have to side affects of this medicine on top of the panic I'm feeling over the certainty of another surgery.
Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and was prescribed Entocort. I have been on the drug for a week and a half and I am still having symptoms. Has anyone else tried this drug? How do you control the diarrhea? I keep taking Immodium but I still keep having issues and I still keep losing weight. I am having a hard time staying about 100 ibs and I'm 35 yrs old! All foods in the grocery stores are designed to help people lose weight.
Avatar f tn I have been through a lengthy dx for CD. I had a peri-anal fistulotomy with a 6 week seton stitch placement (ouch), followed by several bouts of episcleritis, 70 lb weigh loss, hospitalizations for dehydration and upper rt quad. ab. pain. Even with the weight loss, I am still considered obese at 240 lbs at 5 foot 10. Capsule endoscopy looks good (it took so long to schedule I was asymptomatic at testing), MRI showed no strictures.
Avatar f tn It means you had discharge. White discharge is common in women pregnant or not, and the amount will vary depending on the female and where she is in her cycle. In regards to your other question, it can feel like your cycle will start but it doesn't mean it will. Watch and see what happens and if it does, more than likely it is due to the EC. Overall, you're still looking way too much into this. Most of all these are just everyday usual bodily functions.
Avatar f tn I am unsure if I may be pregnant, I had sex and contraception failed, so got emergency contraception within 14 hours. I had a short period 5 days after taking EC (therefor 3 weeks early) and my next period is now due and I have only had brown discharge and slight bleeding. However, I had the contraceptive implant fitted 6 days after taking the EC (7 days after sex) and am unsure whether the irregular periods are due to that or to the fact I may be pregnant.
Avatar n tn About 13 years ago I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and took Entocort for about 4 years and am still taking Cell Cept. I did have an ultrasound on my thyroid in 2018 and no changes. I moved in 2019 and no longer have an endocrinologist. So, all the changes probably started around 2019. I I do have bloodwork. Everything was in normal range. I can attach a copy of the report tomorrow.
Avatar n tn I had sex a day after my period ended. I took EC a day after sex but was 30 mins late to take the other. I only had unprotected sex because I heard of that day being my safe day.
Avatar n tn For the immunosuppressant drugs to affect hiv testing it has to be taken in large dozes. I took Entocort (a sort of cortiosteroids) 2mg evey other day for 60 days shortly before my test and doctors say it's not interfering with hiv tests.
874116 tn?1240368959 I am a regular user of the ovral L birth control pill but was on a break for teh last 3-4 months to give my body a rest. Since then I was used the EC about four times. I used it in February twice in teh same cycle. The name is Ipill with the levonorgestrel hormone. I used it once mid cycle after my period last month and got pregnant. I really want to know if teh hormone can cause any potential harm to the baby. I am in a fix and would really appreciate some advice....
Avatar f tn Ah--didn't know you had multiple posts. It's possible that your cycle will be delayed. EC is only meant to be taken a max of 2x a year due to the high level of hormones it has in it. Because you used it twice in such a short amount of time, it causes your body to go crazy. You could skip your cycle completely, it could be early or it could be late. You only waited 8 days after sex to test, which doesn't provide enough time to show an accurate answer.
Avatar f tn Just wondering if one could still be pregnant even though a period has come? I want to know if taking the EC twice in a week affects a period if pregnant. My understanding is if I was pregnant, my period would not have come at all after takin EC, no matter how many times. Is this correct?
Avatar n tn My doc is always reading on new things coming out trying to help me w/my liver dz. He just recently found out that Entocort would be beneficial for me in taking the place of prednisone. I am on 9 mg. Well, where do I begin. Almost instantly I lost 19 lbs of water retention (due to prednisone). The entocort metabolizes in the liver unlike the prednison which travels everywhere causing osteoporosis, bone loss, etc. I feel great. I just spoke to him yesterday regarding my liver.
Avatar f tn i had sex on 21st June and its been over a month..is it bcoz i took EC... M having cramps ,low back pain..M so confused:( i took EC after 50hrs bcoz i was scared of getting pregnant pls help...
Avatar f tn ok. is it taking a EC pill can help to prevent my pregnancy like trust pill? I want to take it now because some says that it could be prevented if i take it within 72 hours.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I took EC postinor 2 after protected intercourse about 40 hrs later but was worried about pre *** getting onto the condom with his hands (condom had problem sliding down but it finally did) before we had intercourse. My LMP was on 14 th oct. did it on 20th oct. took EC On 22nd afternoon 3 ish. Yesterday before sleeping I was bleeding bright red. Realise this after using my vibrator but I don't think it's cause by the vibrator as ive used it tons and never bled before.
Avatar n tn she should get her period a week prior to her normal cycle after taking EC but if its a couple weeks late that then take a preg test or see a doctor
Avatar f tn Atherosclerosis (Atherosclerosis, AS) is a form of vascular endothelial cells (vascular endothelial cell, VEC) damage, vascular smooth muscle cells (vascular smooth muscle cell, VSMC) proliferation as the main pathological features of vascular disease.
Avatar f tn you should NOT use your birth control as ec though. i guess it can be used as ec if your having unprotected sex. its not the same thing as ec pill. do you know how many pills you would have to take to come close to the amount of hormones. im not saying that was stupid. you are relying only on birth control when your not taking them right...even if you do take them right they are not 100% and by your not using condoms with that...
