Mesalamine (2g) for ulcerative colitis
Pentasa worked really well for a good year and a half, no complaints, no side effects. Stopped after this year and a half all of a sudden with side effects so they prescribed me Medrol in combination with Imuran.

Mesalamine (1g/do) for Crohn's disease
I've been taking this in granulate form for about 2 years, before that one and a half years as tablets. Keeps my Crohn's under control. Last year, was advised to stop for one month and all of my Crohn's symptoms came back, really badly. Started taking them again alongside Entocort. Now I'm back on just pentasa and everything is just fine.
