Set your long-term treatment goals
When it comes to moderate to severe UC, you shouldn't have to choose between relief that's fast and relief that lasts.
That’s why it’s important to:
think beyond symptom relief
strive for lasting, steroid-free remission
aim to visibly repair the colon lining
Symptom relief
Look for UC treatment options that can provide rapid relief from frequent bowel movements and bloody stools. Plus one that helps fight symptoms like bowel urgency, abdominal pain, and fatigue. But don’t stop there…
Lasting, steroid-free remission
Consider ulcerative colitis treatment options that can help you achieve lasting, steroid-free remission—even at 1 year. Ulcerative colitis remission means you are experiencing few or no UC symptoms and your colon lining has visibly repaired as seen in endoscopy results.
Visible repairof the colon lining
Ask about UC treatments that can help the body to visibly repair the colon lining and achieve steroid-free remission.
Uncontrolled UC can cause damage to the colon lining. A visibly repaired colon lining is a key component in achieving remission. The appropriate treatment can reduce the inflammation affecting the lining of the colon, and start you on the path to colon lining repair.

UC inflammation is something your gastroenterologist can see during an endoscopy. In a patient with moderately to severely active UC, endoscopy can show a damaged colon with a reddish appearance, erosions, and white patches, indicating bleeding, inflammation, and ulcers. Ask your doctor if an endoscopic image like this can mean your treatment isn't working.

Your gastroenterologist can also see visible colon lining repair during an endoscopy. An endoscopy of a patient with a visibly repaired colon lining shows a normal colon lining with a pink appearance and minimal ulcers, indicating that the treatment is working well. Ask your doctor how you can achieve visible colon lining repair.

*The images above are shown for educational purposes only to illustrate a damaged colon and visible colon lining repair. Degree and location of UC damage and repair will differ by patient. Areas that were visually assessed may not represent repair of the entire colon lining. Images are not of RINVOQ patients. Results are consistent with RINVOQ clinical trials.
In clinical trials, RINVOQ helped many people with UC get visible colon lining repair at 8 weeks and even at 1 year†

Ask yourself...
What might remission and visible colon lining repair look like in your day-to-day life?
Do your UC symptoms keep you from doing things you enjoy? Maybe you're interested in taking a camping trip, or want to run errands without constant bathroom breaks.
That's why setting the right treatment goals can make all the difference.
