He was under treatment and was given Pentasa granules , T PAN (40mg), Tab wysolone and Pentasa Anema. As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon).
i believe that pentasa is more for management of colitis once it's under control from steroids like once the steroids bring down your flare up u will continue to take pentasa to maintain your colitis control so you could be on it for quite sometime i have never taken pentasa myself thought they have me on salofalk which i believe is for the same thing, just to keep uc under control. not sure if that helped at all but anyways good luck wishing you the best.
Japan has not done any drugs trials for this and prescribed oral pentasa to me, which let to an almighty flare. They prescibed pentasa liquid enemas, then steroids liquid enemas, then oral steroids all the while I am getting thinner, but puffier (thanks steroids!), my knees were very painful and my eyesight was blurry. I flew to the UK (nightmare 12 hour flight) + few hour transfer.
I am 56 year old male, diabetic type 2, have been diagnosed a year ago with ulcerative colitis, they prescribed pentasa as medication, now after one year I for rectal bleeding again, I took pentasa 2000 mg on my own , rectal bleeding stopped, watched my diet for a few days , then I went back to my bad eating habits drinking carrot juice , and tuna with little spices, diarreha came back and today I took 2000 mg pentasa orally, after but was eating sweets , now after a few hours at night bleeding
But then if you can increase the no and quantity of melanin granules ,yes they can get retained.
For example if you have 250 granules on a 60mg Cymbalta capsules that means that about 4 granules represents 1 mg. This is just an example, I don't know how many granules you have in your capsules and I am assuming you are on 60 mg caspules. So, if you want a reduction of 5% you have to tak off 3mg from your 60mg capsules that would be more or less 12 granules. You can keep the granules that you are eliminating to make new doses. I know it is confusing but all is a matter of math.
I have suffered from Crohns for 10+ years but only diagnosed last october. My doctor put me on pentasa that I am still on and I've tried numerous times to explain to him it doesn't work. I have daily pain and diarrhea 15+ times a day yet he still won't change my meds. The only test I have had done is a small bowel series which diagnosed it. No other tests to this day. He acts like he doesn't believe me when I say I have extreme pain every day.
I had changed from Asacol to Pentasa the week before and the rectal pain had come back-significant burning pain. Went to another doctor and had more bloodwork-borderline IBD tests. Went off Pentasa for a few days in Dec and had severe RLQ pain and right hand pain. Got better after a week back on Pentasa. Had another colonoscopy-essentially negative in late Jan. I continue to have burning pain in my rectum and RLQ and right hand, general fatigue. Stress makes it worse.
can a pregnant woman of 33 weeks take l- arginine and proanthocyanidin granules 5 gm sachet?
I am on Cimzia and Pentasa 4grams a day, for the Crohns itself, Dicyclomine for most bowl and rectal spasms (works in calming down the need to go), and Tramodol 100mg (8 max a day) though I sometimes use more.
Strange thing, the Tramodol acts like a diuretic and with the Dicyclomine, tends to control the pain and symptoms to the point where I am functional again. Although, if it wasn't for the Pentasa and Cimzia , I would be in the hospital or going crazy from the pain and discomfort.
I literally have pockets full of brown/red sand-like granules instead of cheek flesh. And this happened virtually overnight. Exterior is semi dry. My skin has been super thick lately...all of a sudden its like velvet so i went to pop a black head and it tore and its full of granules that dissolve when they hit my hand.
The only symptoms I have are a burning sensation on pharynx and upper respiratory wall (usually in the morning when I wake up) and mucus production, also when flu would hit me these granules on the back would become inflamed and enlarged, once the flue is gone they cwould go back to their normal size. Now after a year and 4 months those granules are less colorful and none of them got bigger nor spread around the same goes for the lumps beneath my tonsils.
Like a lot of people, I probably had it long before I was forced to address the issue. I am currently on Pentasa and 6MP. All seem to be doing okay. However, recently I have been having a hard time swallowing. I can actually feel everything in my throat. Has anyone else experienced the same? I hate to go through any tests if anyone has suggestions. Wishing everyone long remissions!
This was after many different tests for different things. I was on Prednozone and Pentasa at first. I am still on Pentasa 8 times a day and many other meds. Mostly for pain, cramps and bleeding. Go to the crohns.com web site and after signing up, they will send you a wonderful book that answers many questions. I am glad to help and answer concerns. That's how we help each other. Please ask anything. It's like having a baby, all modesty is out the window.
He prescribed her half a tablet of Tryptizol every night before going to bed against nausea and one Pentasa Sachet every night before food against irritated bowel disease.
Moreover, she did a Gastroscopy which didn't show anything.
Can anyone of you help or might have had a similar experience? Is the doctor right with his treatment suggestions? She is also on the pill (Yasmine) which she started only in May though but wasn't taken while she was in Canada and the pain subsided.
i have uc 2 years ago i have no diahrea no belly pain just some time see some blood when i go to bath i take pentasa 4 pills per days for 8 mounths i i didn't see any blood from the first 10 days when i started to take pentasa i stopped to take it 7 mounths but then the bleeding back then i started to take pentasa again but since 3 months but bleeding never stop come and god ,,,i heard that vitamin D, yoghurt , banana, fenugreek,tumeric..
Did the doctor take her off the meds? If it was antibiotics then yes she would be off. However, since she was so sick I can't imagine why the dr doesn't have her on pentasa or some other meds to prevent flare-ups.
If she just stopped the meds herself and it was a pentasa type of med and not just antibiotics she is asking for trouble.
Sounds like you may be seeing Fordyce Granules, which are ectopic sebaceous gland (oil glands). They are normal and can appear in the mouth as well. They don't go away, and are really only a cosmetic concern. I'd still get checked out, but look up fordyce granules on the internet and see if the photos match what you are seeing.
In cold condition it becomes bit dry and I can see small white sand kind granules comes out from scalp. When i touch it from my finger nails i can take get few such granules.
Any advice will be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
About the lysine, have you thought about maybe trying Bee pollen granules? It is not really a good idea to not take an amino acid complex. Bee pollen contains essential amino acids including lysine. It has many other great properties as well including B complex. My Dr. new I was taking it before treatment and allowed me to continue. Of course check with yours if you're interested.
My wife is currently 8 months pregnant, and we had a urinalysis done as per our doctor's request. The result show that she has coarse granules that counts 11. What does it mean? The information will be very much appreciated.
