Posted: 05-27-08 20:04pm

I have been taking pentasa for the past nine months been on entocort twice in the last nine months. Doctor ordered calprotectin back in august was 450, then December dropped to 339, then in February 244, now in May back up to 413 normal being 0-50. Now she is for sure going to start me on 6mp. All I read about this drug is bad stuff. I am so afraid of getting cancer or something from it..If anyone is taking and and having good results please leave response. I really need some support, I am terrified scared

6MP
Posted: 07-30-08 20:54pm

My son has been on 6PM for several years. So far, so good. He is now in college and eats everything except Mexican & chinese and (drinks some wine - not supposed to).
I don't think he will go on this forum, but if you email me I will have him send a reply.
He was diagnosed at 14-15 and is now 20.

Before allowing him to go on it I read everything I could find on the web - almost all was good from the people taking it. It is the warning labels that scare you !

If you go on 6MP there is a lab that can tell you if you have too little or too much in your system. The bloodwork is not cheap, but I think a test or two over 18 months is helpful. Check out Promethius Labratory for testing supplies and information.
