Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a disease where inflammation develops in your large intestine (the colon and rectum). The most common symptom when the disease flares up is diarrhoea mixed with blood. An aminosalicylate medicine (such as mesalazine) is the usual first choice of treatment to ease a flare-up of symptoms. Sometimes this medicine on its own does not control your symptoms sufficiently. Beclometasone tablets are prescribed alongside the aminosalicylate medicine as an add-on treatment.
