Ulcerative colitis caused by ibuprofen

The researchers used Acetaminophen (Tylenol) as a control. Other studies suggest that it is not isotretinoin but, rather, previous antibiotic treatment for acne that explains the increase in IBD seen in some studies.

It isn’t clear how isotretinoin might cause IBD-like symptoms. Every effort has been made to ensure that all information is accurate, up-to-date, and complete, but no guarantee is made to that effect.

it causes swelling, ulcerations, and loss of function of the large intestine) is found to be associated with 1,257 drugs and 2,020 conditions by eHealthMe. The ileocecal region is a potential site for a variety of NSAID-induced injuries including erosions, ulcers, strictures, perforation, and the formation of diaphragms, which can lead to bowel obstruction [6-9].

Hormonal changes, particularly involving estrogen and progesterone, can make symptoms worse in some people.

The causes of IBD aren’t fully understood.

The drug is believed to cause UC-like disease because it decreases B lymphocytes, another type of immune cell that protects against colitis.

Isotretinoin

Isotretinoin is an acne drug that may increase the risk of developing IBD. Isotretinoin is used to treat severe acne, typically after other treatments (including antibiotics) haven’t worked.

Researchers have found conflicting results about whether isotretinoin increases the risk of IBD.

Some studies found no connection between IBD and isotretinoin. Tylenol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). All information is observation-only. Tylenol should be used with caution by people who have a history of liver problems or alcohol abuse. It is often used in pain. It’s known to cause diarrhea and colitis.

Mycophenolate mofetil can have GI side effects, including chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Some people taking mycophenolate mofetil can develop Crohn’s-like lesions in the colon that can be seen during a colonoscopy.
