Ulcerative Colitis – Selecting Patient Candidates for Infliximab Therapy

  Stomach The choice of drug therapy is guided by the severity and extent of UC, as well as by disease course over time. Therapy based on the use of corticosteroids to induce remission and mesalazine preparations for maintenance leave a clear gap that needs to be filled in terms of effective therapeutic agents. Therapeutic goals in IBD should include the reduction of inflammation, rapid induction of remission, sustained symptomatic remission and healing of the intestinal mucosa, reduction of steroid usage, reduction of the rate of hospitalisation and surgery, avoidance of complications and effective treatment of extra-intestinal manifestations. Altogether, achieving these goals will result in improving the quality of life of patients.
