The therapeutic efficacy of prednisolone metasulphobenzoate enemas in the treatment of distal colitis has been compared with that of low-dose oral prednisolone, in a single-blind, cross-over trial. Treatment with steroid enemas resulted in symptomatic and sigmoidoscopic evidence of improvement more frequently than treatment with a dosage of oral steroid calculated to achieve similar plasma prednisolone levels. In addition to demonstrating, for the first time, that prednisolone metasulphobenzoate enemas are effective in the treatment of colitis, this study suggests that their efficacy is due to a local action rather than systemic absorption.
