User Reviews for Entocort EC oral

It has helped my constant diareah, but I stay dizzy and I am soooo bloated. I am almost constipated now. I feel like I have to go the bathroom all the time, but i can only go a little and it it feels like its stuck.... I also feel like my blood pressure goes up after a few hours of taking it

I've been on endocort for crohn's for 2 weeks. Had some dizzyness and a rash both went away. But diarhea seems to be worse. called doctor waiting for him to call back. Has helped for soreness in joints.

THE SIDE EFFECTS WERE HORRIBLE. I BECAME SWOLLEN AND MY ABDOMEN EXTENDED. I LOST ALL SENSE OF TASTE IN MY MOUTH AND ACTUALLY BURNED THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH AND DIDN'T KNOW IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SENSATION IN MY MOUTH. EXTREME JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN AND HEADACHES. NAUSEA AND BLOATING SENSATION. EXTREME SWEATING AND URINATION. BEEN OFF FOR A WEEK NOW AND STILL BLOATED AND EXTENDED. STILL SWEATING AND WEAK. ALSO DEVELOPED A SINUS INFECTION THAT WON'T HEAL. HOPING THIS WILL GO AWAY SOON AND I CAN FIT IN MY CLOTHES AGAIN. HATE THIS MEDICATION. Read More Read Less

After being on Pentasa for years, my doctor switched me to entocort ec. I thought I could not take this drug and did not want to stop pentasa. After 3 years on it, I really feel it made a big difference in bowel attacks. I do not feel the need to stop the drug for something else at this time.

The first time i took entocort it was great no side effects and was the only thing that helped? i stopped taking it for a year b/c i didn't have any flare ups (Crohns). however, i have been on for this for the past 4 months and UGH! i am down to 3 mg a day (if i remember) and i feel nausea, dizzy and really irregular heart beats. and of course i am work while this happens. but knock on wood, i am gonna try some alternative ways, wish me luck..

This medication has reduced my symptoms, however; I have had intermittent episodes of dizziness while taking this medication which goes away when not taking it.

Just started treatment for a very severe Crohn's flare-up, so far the side effects are rather nasty, pounding heart, dizziness, head in a fog, fatigue, and tingling all over. Everything else has not worked so hopefully this will.

I have been on this medicine for 2 weeks and I have noticed severe fatigue. I actually thought I might have mono b/c of how tired I have been. My head feels like I am in a fog. I have had tightness in my chest, sore throat and blurred vision. It has taken me several days to realize that all of this is most likely due to the medicine. I take 3 in the morning for Crohn's/Colitis maintenance. Hope there is something else out there to try.

I have had microscopic colitis for over 4 years now--was first treated with prednisone and all it did was give me some time free of problems and fake energy. After going off prednisone, I always crashed and always relapsed. New doctor put me on entocort; have been on about a year (one per day). Drug has worked--I need to know if anyone has had experience with this drug--what the long-term side effects of using this drug are???

I have collagenous colitis as well. All the running to the bathroom for well over a year, several times a day was horrible. Getting off the bus on my commute to work, I hated living that way. After being diagnosed, my doc had me try Entocort. At first it was 3 a day, then I wouldn't go for days on end, so I did one every other day. That ended up being too much. Now it's one every week or 2 and I'm doing great! No more having to stop at gas stations every 10 minutes or missing important events in my life, upsetting co-workers that need to cover because I'm having another "spell"! I love this medication!!!Read More Read Less

have had severe diarrhea for 11 yrs. NOTHING helped(collagenous colitis/crohn's)this stuff is great!! few aches,pains and fatigue, but would rather have that than a lifetime on the toilet!! This stuff is my hero!

I get extremely tired and fatigued using this med, and at times my head feels like it is in a fog. I don't feel that I can continue feeling like this. At this point I'm not sure what is worse diarrhea, or feeling fatigued and in a fog all day.

This worked great for me, with very little side effects. The pain and diarrhea went away quickly. I just didn't like having to take the three big pills (9mg total) each morning.

I used the 3 mg tablet once a day for Ulcerative Colitis for a month and then went on a every other day and then to two days a week and was in remission and did not have to use any other drugs for UC except one Loperamide a day for a year and 3 months and when I had a relapse, I did the same treatment and was in remission again. This drug works and allows me to be medication free for long periods of time. Thankfully , my GI DR. gave it to me for UC!

after two rounds of entocort I could tell a difference, this med has worked very well for me

i take 3 pills in the am i still have cramping i also have ibd plus i took a drug test for a job and faild i dont do drugs only what the dr gives me.entocort,effexorer,seroqual,dicyclomine and the drug lady did not care what i was taking how can i get someone to listen to me

I am being treated for Primary Billiary Cirhossis and my doc read in an abstract that it might help. After two= years I bruise and bleed very easilyt and healing takes a very long time all due to thinning skin

I was diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis 18 years ago.I have taken many different drugs for this disease, Entocort has been the only one that has actually worked for me.The only side effect has been a lot of fluid retention.I have been on this drug for about 4 months now and I feel like a new person.

I have ulcerative colitis and I'm taking entocort with asacol and it's been helping so far.
