a little confused - Uceris

For anyone who is knowledgeable on this topic and or has done it: Do you have to taper Uceris? I'm a little confused.
I have been on Uceris 9mg for 4 week. Friday I realized I needed to refill the script, the bottle of pills said I had one refill left (assuming that would be the 8 weeks your supposed to be on it, that made sense to me). Well nope the bottle was wrong. My old GI did not give me refills and it was too late to call his office. So I have not taken Uceris in two days and my body feels awful. And for some reason I my face is puffy? I have not had any adverse UC symptoms because the Uceris wasn't helping in the first place, my new GI just wanted me to stay on it so I did not worsen.
Just wanted to make sure it was okay if i stopped it.

Thanks!

I was on Uceris for a little over a month. It helped get me out of my flare and I had no side effects like when I was on prednisone. There is also no need to taper since Uceris is non-systemic. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Thanks! That's what I thought but just wanted to make sure.
Before I started taking it I was having a pretty bad flare. Lots of blood, mucus, urgency, and tired all of the time. I was originally put on entocort by my doctor but then requested to be switched to Uceris. I had some improvements when I first started taking the Uceris, maybe for about two weeks. I just had less blood and mucus, but still the D and urgency. After that my symptoms returned to the same and my new GI put me on cortisone enemas and upped my lialda dosage, which still isn't working.
I really think that it just depends on how bad your flare is and probably where your UC is located to if the Uceris will help.
Hopefully it helps you! because the side effects are nothing like Prednisone. I had barely any adverse effects, not like pred at all :)
