medicine called lialda update

t been working as suffciently as it used to so my GI changed me to this new medicine called Apriso that works really well and it comes with a co pay but still its a little high priced. I have plenty of experience with medication and such and for your card for lialda contact your GI doctor and they should be able to help you.

Has anyone else experienced weight gain around the stomach while on Lialda? I've had UC for 22 years and have been on several different medications. I was on Prednisone for 14 years and never gained a pound. In February of 2009 I was put on Lialda after a 4 year remission. I gained 10 pounds within two weeks, all on my stomach. Last November, I had another flare that lasted 4 months (I never lost a pound even though I was eating very little).

Is there a cheaper medicine out there for this ? I can not afford my medicine!

My 16y/o daughter has UC. Has been on Lialda 2.4 g/day for 6 months. She was on prednisone for the first 4 months of the same time period. Has had significant hair loss for the last 5 months. Cortisol AM is normal. My duaghter also has ITP and is considered chronic, it usually manifests during a UC flare up. Is the Lialda a possible culprit.

I was put on lialda when I started having an alergic reaction to sulpha drugs. I main question is that I now have a bad taste in my mouth. Is this from the lialda?

There is also a new time-release, once per day formulation of mesalamine on the market called Lialda. The matrix of that formulation may be better tolerated in your GI tract. Bottom line is that you have options. I wish you well, IBD is a total drag.

I was told that I have inflamation in my small intestine after having the pill cam done so I was put on Lialda. It works great. I have actually been able to go to the bathroom without Milk of Magnesia or other stool softeners. I have noticed that I have gained alot of weight in a short time though. About 10 pounds in 2-3 weeks. Has anyone experienced weight gain with this medication? Is this just water retention? I am not happy about it!

hi there yes i have uc and bowel sounds are quite normal for me as soon as i eat? then i have to go on the loo !!

I am currently taking lialda 2 capsules twice a day. I basically stopped taking the lialda because it made me feel worse than I already was. My question is is there a reason why the lialda makes me have pain in my gut. Are there any other new meds out there of UC? Are there any new surgeries to cure UC?

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in early stage. Right now I am talking Lialda 1.2 mg 3 tablets once a day. The above symptoms have totally vanished. But literally I am not eating any spicy food or fibre food. I want to know the diet plan.I really lost weight. I have a new problem past 2 weeks. Every morning around 6.30 am or so i have a contracting pain in my lower left ribs. It's very stabbing and also I have lower back pain.

I started taking Lialda in August, 2008, and took it (3-1g tabs once per day) for 5 months before I got better. However, I am not sure whether to credit the Lialda or the Flora-Q I began taking after three months into my treatment. I have lymphocytic colitis so this may not pertain directly to your diagnosis, but I hope it helps.

Hello everyone! I recently had a Colonoscopy to find out what is going on with me.. I have had bloody diarrhea, dizziness, muscle aches/pains, fatigue and nausea for the past 9 months. The Dr. said that he saw some inflammation in the left side of my colon and took some Biopsies. Is this how he can tell if it is Crohn's or UC? Can't he tell just by the imaging through the Colonoscopy? What can they determine under a scope? Also, he prescribed me Lialda 2x's a day..

s for the last 5yrs and am on 5mg of Prednisone/day as well just being switched to Lialda 2.4gms/day (from Pentasa 4gms/day) one month ago. I was started on Famvir today-500mg tid. I am leaving for Hawaii on Wednesday and am scheduled to swim with the dolphins on Thursday. I have completed my first full day's dose of medicine and will continue until the prescription is completed. I am then staying on a maintenance dose of 250mg/day until I can get the vaccine in 6mos at age 60.

I have severe joint point pain and I have been told that Celebrex is a huge help for this. I am wondering about side effects and medicine interactions.

Some people said they do a diet, some people have said oral medicine and others have said insulin injections.

I called my doctor to because I was nauseous every day and vomitting about once a day since ladt thursday andmy meds for it weren't working anymore. I called around 4 yesterday afternoon so they didn't get back to me until now. They nurse said that the doctor wants to see me today and I go in at 2:30. Anyone have any idea what she needs to check for? I figured. If anything they would send me to the er which they always do when I call with a problem. Any comments would be very helpful!

Testing at SNPRC provided proof this novel therapeutic approach and drug delivery mechanism would be safe and effective, as recently published in the international journal Science Translational Medicine. The World Health Organization characterizes hepatitis B as a major global health problem. An estimated 250 to 400 million people are chronically infected with the virus. More than 800,000 people a year die from complications of cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer.

lol nd do u guys know of a medicine called Celestamine is it good when i use it too?

I was on Asacol for many years, but my new insurance company made we switch to Lialda a couple of months ago (three 1.2GM tablets 1x daily). I am also on Lisinopril (20mg 1x), Rosuvastatin (10mg 1x), and Citalopram (20mg, 1x). In addition to prescription meds, I also take one vitamin D3 (2000 IU) daily, as well as two 650mg Acetaminophen tablets. I tend to pay a lot of attention to my liver, since I had a good friend pass away of liver cancer at an early age.

Clearly there is a lot going on right now and those who have had corona virus tell us of a wide variety of symptoms including gastrointestinal. How are you feeling now? Have you called your doctor? Are you better? Please update us and I'll come right back and we'll talk!

Lulu I got the Medicine called in last Saturday when I called my Doctor after getting of the phone with Ren. My Doctor did not want to see me to follow up she just called in the script. The first time in November she was really too busy for me as was my Neurologist. After I kept pushing in November she sent me to a Cardiologist and she did blood work which found the thyroid. She insists it is something for my Neurologist.
