Then my symptoms like blood and mucus, stool frequency are controlled but not inflammation then Dr. Prescribed me meascol rectal suppository told me use in bed time, but am not able to use meascol becoz whenever am keeping mesacol in rectum then I used to go bathroom then its coming out along with stool. Then Dr. prescribed me saaz ds for 6 months. I used for 6 months later my symptoms were very severe. Then I am completely sticked to home becoz of diarrhea. Then I am using wysolone 10 mg daily 2 tab without doctor suggestion it is giving me relief and my symptoms are normal. So please suggest me is any problem of using wysolone for a long time.

Wysolone is a steroid and it has side effects in the long run. Try to manage your symptoms with dietary modifications and take medications minimally.

Whenever you get acute symptoms you should take wysolone for two weeks and after that taper this for next week! You should not take regularly for years becoz it has bad effect on hormonal status! So don?t worry, tapering is good for you after acute period is over!
