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.
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.

However, he also still has many symptoms that are unrelated to the Crohn’s Disease and they are now testing him for other diseases which may be Lupus, MS and or Rheumatoid Arthritis. We are wondering if there are any recommended treatment for Crohn’s other than Prednisone and Align and if there is any other disease that it may be and how to get tested for it. We have tried so many things and nothing seems to be working at this point. We would appreciate any advice.
The cyclosporine I was taking was a powder in a capsule, apparently this has been taken off the market and instead I took the same medication, but it was in the form of a capsule with alcohol. Unfortunately, after a short time, I was right back to before treatment. And have been avoiding culprit foods ever since. I contacted my doctor and his guess was that the powder worked topically in the digestive system and the alcohol is metabolized by the liver and therefore does not work as well.
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.
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.
-fluoro-5-ethyluridine (49) were found to possess significant anti-HBV activity against DHBV in primary duck hepatocytes with EC(50) values of 4.1, 3.3, 40.6, 3.8, 0.2, and 39.0 μM, respectively. Compounds 23, 25, 39, 48, and 49 (EC(50) = 41.3, 33.7, 19.2, 2.0-4.1, and 39.0 μM, respectively) exhibited significant activity against wild-type human HBV in 2.2.15 cells.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My sister-in-law is just above 10 years old. She takes Viread and Kaletra every day. My mother-in-law takes Videx EC and Ziagen. My mother-in-law is currently in Africa, and I've searched on the pills my sister-in-law is taking, and I found out that it was HIV treatment :'( I couldn't hold my tears, because I love her so much, and she is so young. I want to know what it means. Please tell me.
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.
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?
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.

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.
