HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes ongoing inflammation and ulcers (open sores) in the innermost layers of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. The ulcers bleed and produce pus and mucus, and the inflammation causes the colon to empty frequently, resulting in diarrhea. Ulcerative colitis is similar to Crohn's disease, another inflammatory bowel disease.

However, the researchers were unable to determine which combinations of drugs work best or which individual drugs are more effective than others.
- Combination drug treatment is now becoming a standard approach to treating rheumatoid arthritis while it is still in its early stages. Another 2007 Annals of Internal Medicine study indicated that initial combination therapies slow progression of joint damage more rapidly than single-drug therapy but, after several years, all treatment strategies produce benefits.
