Overview

New topical medications for ulcerative colitis affecting the left side of the colon offer a better treatment option for many patients. Applying steroids and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) rectally is associated with fewer side effects and is more effective than oral medications for mild to moderate left-sided colitis. While some believe that patients don't follow rectal treatments well, proper education about the benefits can improve compliance. Rectal medications are also effective for maintaining remission in distal colitis. New treatment guidelines now recommend topical therapies more often, and these papers specifically address the benefits of topical treatment for distal colitis, highlighting its advantages in everyday practice.
