Which medicine is right for you depends on your symptoms, where Crohn's disease is causing inflammation, and other personal factors. Because no single treatment works for every person, your care team builds a plan that fits you. Medicines do not cure Crohn's disease, but they can reduce inflammation and help bring on and maintain remission — a time when your symptoms disappear. Your care team sets your timing and schedule; follow their instructions closely. If you miss a dose, reach out to your care team rather than adjusting on your own. Before taking any over-the-counter (OTC) medicine, check with your care team first. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — pain relievers like ibuprofen or aspirin — can make your symptoms worse and should be avoided unless your care team tells you otherwise.
