Is it safe to take different enemas at different times of the day?

It seems I now have proctitis (oh joy!). Can I use the salfolk suppositories during the day and the pentasa liquid enema at night? Just wondering if the double "whammy" would help or hurt?

Thanks guys!

Many people here use the enemas at night and suppositories during the day. Go for it.

Totally kosher.

At one point, I was using Cortifoam (hydrocortisone foam enemas), and then taking a mesalamine enema 30 minutes later, before bed.

Yes...use the foam during the day since it would be easier to maintain.

I'd not think to mix the two together, but it's another option.
