INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily targets the large intestine. Although substantial progress has been made in treatment modalities-especially with the development of immunomodulatory drugs and biologic therapies-managing UC continues to present significant challenges. At present, there is no definitive cure, and current treatment strategies are largely focused on controlling inflammation, relieving symptoms, and halting disease progression

Interventions

DRUGMesalamine

Mesalamine or 5-amino salicylic acid (5-ASA), plays a crucial role in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). It is the first-line therapy for mild to moderate cases of UC and is considered a cornerstone in its management.

DRUGRupatadine

Rupatadine, a dual histamine H1 receptor and platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, has shown promising anti-inflammatory effects beyond its conventional use in allergic conditions
