Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully when using Entocort Enema in the rectum, usually once daily in the evening at bedtime. Shake the tablet well in the enema solution provided for at least 10 seconds until the solution turns pale yellow, then use it right away. Do not prepare the solution in advance and do not swallow the tablet.
Entocort Enema are administered rectally and are usually used for a treatment period of four weeks, with the full effect typically achieved within 24 weeks. If the patient is not in remission after four weeks, the treatment period may be extended.
Use the enema after a bowel movement, lying on your left side with your left knee bent toward the chest. Gently insert the nozzle into the rectum and squeeze the bottle firmly to release the drug into the rectum. Stay in that position for at least 5 minutes before keeping the medicine in your rectum overnight or as long as possible.
Your doctor will determine the dosage and length of treatment based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use Entocort regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit from it.
Do not increase your dose or use the drug more often or for longer than prescribed, as this may increase your risk of side effects and will not improve your condition any faster. Consult your doctor before stopping the medication, as some conditions may worsen when the drug is suddenly stopped. Gradually reducing your dose may help prevent symptoms such as extreme tiredness, muscle/joint pain, headache, weakness, or nausea. Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor or pharmacist right away.
