Arrr! Aye, a study be findin' that near 70% o' ye young scallywags be stoppin' takin' that fancy 5-aminosalicylic acid within a year after bein' cursed with ulcerative colitis. That be raisin' their chances o' sufferin' a relapse and other troubles. <i>Medscape Medical News</i> be reportin' this, mateys!
In a scurvy study, me hearties, it be uncovered that near 70% of lads and lasses in their prime be givin' up on swabbin' the deck with oral 5-aminosalicylic acid within a year of bein' diagnosed with the dreaded ulcerative colitis. Now ye might be wonderin', what be the consequences of such a foolish decision? Well, it be raisin' their chances of havin' a relapse and complications, me buckos! Arrr!It's a treacherous sea out there for these young scallywags, me mateys. The 5-aminosalicylic acid be a mighty weapon, ya see, against the vicious ulcerative colitis. It be helpin' to calm the infernal inflammation in the intestines, keepin' it at bay. But alas, these young buccaneers be droppin' it like a hot potato, puttin' themselves at risk.
Now, why be they abandonin' their trusty weapon, ye may ask? Well, me hearties, it be a tale of side effects and the capriciousness of youth. The 5-aminosalicylic acid be known to cause some unsavory effects like nausea, diarrhea, and even a rash that'd make ye want to walk the plank! Aye, it be no walk in the park, that be certain.
But here be the rub, me lads and lasses: the consequences of castin' aside this powerful weapon be far worse than the annoyin' side effects. Without it, these poor souls be sailin' into dangerous waters, with a higher chance of seein' their ulcerative colitis return with a vengeance.
So, me hearties, let this be a lesson to ye all. Don't be lettin' the siren song of side effects lure ye away from the path of health. Stick to yer treatment, even if it be causin' some discomfort. 'Tis a small price to pay for smooth sailin' and a brighter tomorrow, free from the clutches of ulcerative colitis. Yo ho ho!
