What's Next For Patients With Moderate UC When
5-ASAs Aren't Enough?
Patients may experience symptoms associated with active disease
Common UC symptoms include1,2a:
- Diarrhea
- Rectal bleeding
- Tenesmus/urgency
- Increased stool frequency
- Abdominal pain
5-ASA maintenance therapy may not deliver the relief that patients need
7 out of 10 patients receiving 5-ASA therapy failed to achieve remission3b
Steroids can provide short-term relief, but patients may become over-reliant
More than 1/3 of patients who filled steroids after UC diagnosis became steroid dependent4,5c
Even though advanced therapy may be recommended, patients often refuse biologics
Almost 30% of patients deny or delay therapy due to concerns with biologics6d
Take the next step with ZEPOSIA —
The only oral advanced therapye that can be used before biologics7-9
A non-biologic, small molecule with once-daily oral dosing.7
