Additive Effect of Probiotics (Mutaflor®) in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis on 5-ASA Treatment.

Summary

E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) is equivalent to mesalazine in preventing disease relapse in ulcerative colitis. However, data on ability of E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) to induce remission compared with placebo is limited. Investigators aim to investigate the efficacy of E.coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor®) as an add-on treatment to 5-ASA in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.
