Q. Is Colizine a steroid or a painkiller?
Colizine is neither a steroid nor a painkiller. It is an anti-inflammatory medicine. It is used to treat and manage ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in which the intestines become inflamed (swelling of intestines). It is also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (painful joint disease).
Q. What is Colizine and what is it used for?
Colizine belongs to a group of medicines called aminosalicylates. It is an anti-inflammatory disease and is used to treat bowel inflammation, diarrhea (stool frequency), rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. In rheumatoid arthritis, it helps prevent damage to the joints and works slowly to reduce swelling and stiffness in your joints.
Q. I have been prescribed Colizine for rheumatoid arthritis. When can I expect the pain in joints to be better?
Colizine does not work right away. It takes about 6 to 12 weeks to deliver the full effect.You may start feeling better in 4 weeks after starting Colizine, but it can vary from person to person and some of the patients may notice improvement after 3 months. Consumption of medicine should not be stopped without consulting your doctor.
Q. For how long do I need to take Colizine?
If you are able to tolerate Colizine which means the side effects do not bother you, then you have to continue Colizine till disease remains in remission.
Q. Does the use of Colizine for the treatment of arthritis affect the kidney function?
Though it is uncommon, Colizine may affect your kidney function. Therefore, it is important that your kidney function remains normal before you start taking Colizine. If during treatment with Colizine your kidney functions become abnormal, you should consult your doctor.
Q. Do I need to get any blood tests done while on Colizine therapy?
Your doctor will advise you blood tests to check your blood cell counts and your kidney function before starting your treatment and regularly during treatment. The tests should also be done to measure substances produced by your liver known as enzymes (liver function tests) and urine for protein and blood before you start treatment and at regular intervals.
Q. Can Colizine affect my fertility?
Decreased sperm count and infertility have been reported in some males. These may disappear once Colizine is discontinued.
Q. Can I take azathioprine along with Colizine?
You should avoid using Colizine with azathioprine since there are chances of decrease in blood cell count, which can be a serious side effect.
