Patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis respond well to 5- aminosalicylate agents. Patients with proctitis or left-sided colitis should receive topical therapy with a [...]. If patients require repeated courses of glucocorticoids or become glucocorticoid dependent, thiopurines (6- mercaptopurine or azathioprine) or an anti-TNF agent should be initiated (methotrexate has not been shown to be effective in ulcerative colitis). Anti-TNF agents should be used in patients who do not maintain remission with thiopurines or patients whose disease is refractory to glucocorticoids. It is unlikely that 5-aminosalicylates would be beneficial in this patient with more severe disease that is refractory to prednisone
Answer
5-aminosalicylate or hydrocortisone suppositories or enemas
