Compounded Medications for Ulcerative Colitis
Personalized support through customized compounded medications.
At AllMedRx, we prepare compounded medications for ulcerative colitis based on your provider’s prescription and your individual needs.
Understanding Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers in the innermost lining of the colon and rectum. Unlike Crohn’s disease, which can affect any part of the digestive tract, ulcerative colitis is limited to the large intestine and develops in a continuous pattern starting from the rectum.
The condition is characterized by periods of active disease (flares) with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and urgency, alternating with periods of remission when symptoms subside. The extent and severity of inflammation can vary, ranging from inflammation limited to the rectum (proctitis) to involvement of the entire colon (pancolitis).
Ulcerative colitis can significantly impact daily life, nutrition, hydration, and overall well-being. Long-term complications may include increased colorectal cancer risk, toxic megacolon, severe bleeding, perforation, and malnutrition. With appropriate treatment and monitoring, many individuals with ulcerative colitis can achieve and maintain remission.
Ulcerative colitis is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider through colonoscopy with biopsy, stool studies, blood tests, and imaging studies to assess disease extent and severity.
If you are experiencing symptoms of ulcerative colitis or have concerns about your digestive health, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.
Common Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis
Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Systemic and Extra-Intestinal Symptoms
Everyone experiences ulcerative colitis differently. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.
Medications for Ulcerative Colitis: Treatment Options
Ulcerative colitis is often managed through a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, immunosuppressants, biologic therapies, nutritional support, and in some cases, surgical intervention. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on disease severity, extent of inflammation, response to previous treatments, medical history, and treatment goals.
Common Types of Ulcerative Colitis Medications
Medications such as mesalamine, sulfasalazine, or balsalazide may be prescribed by healthcare providers to reduce inflammation in the intestinal lining, particularly for mild to moderate disease.
Short-term use of medications such as prednisone or budesonide may be used to control moderate to severe flares and induce remission.
Options such as azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine may be used to suppress the immune system response contributing to inflammation, depending on the patient’s presentation and provider recommendation.
Advanced medications that target specific proteins involved in inflammation (such as TNF inhibitors, integrin inhibitors, or IL-12/23 inhibitors) may be prescribed for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
Oral medications that block specific enzymes involved in the inflammatory response may be considered for certain patients with ulcerative colitis.
Suppositories, enemas, or foams containing anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed for inflammation limited to the rectum or lower colon.
Many patients require multiple medications to achieve and maintain remission. Compounding may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed.
