title: [Efficacy and tolerability of 5-aminosalicylic acid in the short-term treatment of ulcerative rectocolitis during the mild or moderate stage].
abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and side-effects of 5-ASA and SASP in the treatment of active ulcerative colitis. An improvement was seen in 71.4% (5-ASA) and 70.3% (SASP) but there were no complete remissions. The incidence of improvements was only 36.3% (5-ASA) and 37.5% (SASP) in pancolitis. The side-effects appeared in 14.2% (5-ASA) and 21% (SASP).
