Medications that cause LC

Post by lindalemon »

I have read posts on the FB Colitis Support Group that some medications can cause colitis, if I recall correctly medications containing Ibuprofen and disprin are some. I have tried to find any posts on this support group but have not been successful, so please forgive me if I'm asking about something that has already been discussed.

Would you know what medications to avoid that might cause colitis? I take Eurhyrox the generic of Thyroxine and Pexola the generic of Oxpola. I did a google search on these two medications but did not get a satisfactory result.

The medications that most often trigger MC are: almost all common antibiotics (except for the fluoroquinolones and azithromycin), PPIs, SSRIs, SNRIs, bisphosphonates, tricyclic antidepressants, and a few others for some people.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
