Loperamide (Imodium) may be used for symptomatic relief of diarrhea associated with IBD, but it is not a disease-modifying medication. Doxepin (Sinequan) is an antidepressant and anxiolytic, not typically used in the treatment of IBD. Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) is a first-line medication for the treatment of mild to moderate IBD. Prednisone is a glucocorticoid that may be used to induce remission or control flares. Azathioprine (Imuran) is an immunomodulator that may be used for maintenance therapy to prevent flares and promote disease remission.
