Uceris and thirst

I have some form of mild colitis and have been prescribed Uceris for a flare up. I've found that I'm often very thirsty since starting the Uceris, anyone else have this experience?

Thanks, that's what I thought. So Uceris is a temporary solution. The thirst doesn't indicate any long term serious side effects, then?

If thirst is the only side effect you have then that's very mild and not at all troubling! Steroids temporarily raise our blood sugar levels and that might make you thirsty.

In fact Uceris and Prednisone are also known as glucocorticoids with the "glucose" bit (meaning sugar) referring to the effect on our blood sugar levels. If you get any blood work done while on Uceris then expect your numbers to be a bit wacky as a consequence thereof.

for future reference, you might wanna find out more about what you got -

how long have you had this and what other meds have you taken or are currently taking ?

^^ it’s listed as an uncommon side effect, thirst can happen when on steroids because of what ipoop said. If you are truly worried about it give your doc a call but I am always thirsty when on steroids and always goes away when I stop them.
