Stelara and predsol enemas (prednisolone)


Thu, February 02, 2023 6:32 AM

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. I' ve been on Stelara and methotrexate now for 5 weeks and GI suggested predsol enemas for 1 month. Is anyone using predsol enemas or had used them while on Stelara? Safety wise anyone get any issues? Thanx

Rectal corticosteroids are used to treat mild or moderate ulcerative colitis. They also may be used along with systemic (oral or injection) corticosteroids or other medicines to treat severe disease or mild to moderate disease that has spread too far to be treated effectively by medicine inserted into the rectum alone. For me rectal steroids worked really well for the inflammation that was in my rectum

I have done rectal steroids and I like them better than the oral pills as I find they have less side effects. Good luck!
