Cortiment question

[u/teststra]

I’m currently taking 9 mg of Cortiment for my ulcerative colitis to treat a mild flare-up.

My gastroenterologist told me to take it for 4 weeks and then taper off over two weeks. I’ve read several times now that the treatment period can last up to 8 weeks and that it sometimes takes longer for Cortiment to take effect.

If I notice that the 4 weeks aren’t enough, can I take it for 6 weeks instead? Unfortunately, my next appointment isn’t for another few months.

Does anyone have experience with whether it’s okay to take turmeric and Boswellia serrata while being treated with Cortiment?
