For some people with ulcerative colitis, biologics are important for managing many painful symptoms, like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fevers.
First, here’s a little refresher on why these symptoms occur in the first place. Ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, causes inflammation and ulcers in your colon and rectum; your specific symptoms may vary depending on where the inflammation occurs in your digestive tract. While there is no cure, treatments can reduce the inflammation and accompanying symptoms so you feel more comfortable. People with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis commonly take biologics, a class of drugs that reduce inflammation in various ways, according to the Mayo Clinic. If you’re interested in trying a biologic, then it’s a good idea to understand how these drugs could work for you.
