Research Notes on Crohn's Disease Treatments
Treatment of Crohn's disease can vary from diet to medications to surgery. The goal of any treatment used for Crohn's disease is to keep the disease in remission as long as possible.1 Aminosalicylates and steroids are used to reduce the inflammation that results from Crohn's disease.2 Immune system suppressors such as Imuran and Purinethol are used in the long-term treatment of Crohn's disease.2 Your doctor can help you to find the method of treatment that works best for you.
Fast Facts:
- Good lifestyle habits like not smoking, exercising, and eating properly can help you manage the symptoms of Crohn's disease.1
- Some people opt for surgery to help manage the disease. It is not a cure for the disease.1
- The method of treatment that your doctor recommends depends on the location and severity of the disease.3
