Dr. Mark Lamet, from the Center for Gastrointestinal Disorders in Hollywood, Florida, discusses the symptoms, epidemiology, and management of ulcerative proctitis. He focuses on the treatment options for this condition, paying particular attention to the use of topical 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) as first-line therapy, the extent of therapeutic efficacy with the use of suppositories, and a comparison of a new strength of mesalamine suppositories (1 g h.s.) with standard dosing.
