For example:
- If your condition affects the back passage (rectum) only, you may be prescribed an aminosalicylate suppository or enema.
- If your gut is affected higher up, you may be prescribed an aminosalicylate tablet:
- Mezavant®, Dipentum®, and Colazide® target the colon.
- Asacol®, Ipocol®, Mesren®, and Salofalk®, work a little higher in the gut in the last part of the small intestine (called the ileum).
- Pentasa® is designed to work along the entire length of the gut
