Better compliance can be obtained by reducing the number of tablets and times of administration.Given that the 5-ASA formulations have different delivery systems that split the active moiety in various regions of the intestine,it is particularly important that an adequate dose of the drug arrives at the inflamed part of the colon.5-ASA Multi matrix(MMx)is a novel,high strength(1.2 g),oral formulation designed for oncedaily dosing.It releases the active moiety throughout the colon.Different studies with this compound have shown that it is as effective as 5-ASA enema in the treatment of mild-to-moderate,left-sided UC,and is comparable to a pH-dependent,delayed release 5-ASA (Asacol ),even if given once daily.Recently,the effectiveness in the acute phase of UC has been confirmed also in maintenance.In conclusion,at present,5-ASA MMx seems theoretically the best agent for maintaining patient compliance,and consequently,treatment effectiveness.展开更多
