Hi,
I want to know if any of you are using 2 dosage of Mesalamine Rectal Suspension at the same time. If so, how well it go? What time during the day or night do you apply the second dosage? Do you apply the second dosage at the same time as the first dosage?

I am using both Mesalamine Rectal Suspension and Lialda now. I realize that Mesalamine Rectal Suspension works much better than Lialda for me. I want to know if I can use 2 dosages of Mesalamine Rectal Suspension at the same time instead of Lialda.

Thanks

My personal experience, i didn't get any benefit from doubling 4gm enema. Most of the enema will be unabsorbed and will come out next day. Sometimes less enema with high quantity spreads better than high concentrated one and that has been proven in my case. I got better results with 1 gm/100ml enema compared to 4gm/60 ml enema.

Double-enemas helped me with some mild inflammation. I tried administering two in a row, and then retiring. I tried taking one at noon, and one at bedtime. I couldn't notice any difference in my results based on time of day I was taking them, identical.

I wouldn't discontinue the pills, as they're good for treating higher up and preventing your UC from spreading upward.

Instead of lialda...no.

Doubling at one time seems a waste of money.

Do one at night, another after majority of bms.
