How UCERIS Tablets Work
Ulcerative colitis (UC) causes inflammation in the colon, which can lead to a flare-up of symptoms. UCERIS tablets help the lining of the colon to heal, reducing UC symptoms and the level of flare-ups.
What happens after taking UCERIS tablets?
Most steroids work on the whole body, but UCERIS tablets are designed to work directly in the colon, where UC is located. The medicine travels intact through the digestive system until it reaches the colon and dissolves. Once it dissolves, UCERIS tablets provide a slow release of medicine in the colon.
UCERIS tablets are usually well tolerated
In addition, because of the way UCERIS tablets are designed to be absorbed by the body, most of it may not stay in the blood for very long. So, UCERIS is usually well tolerated.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, like prescription and over-the-counter vitamins and herbal supplements. UCERIS tablets and other medicines may affect each other and cause side effects.
