Highlight

  • The EASI trial tested whether a single 1600 mg 5-ASA tablet improves adherence in ulcerative colitis compared to three 800 mg tablets.
  • Adherence rates were comparable between groups, with a trend toward fewer missed doses in the single-tablet group.
  • Relapse rates and symptom control did not differ significantly between regimens during 12 months of use.
  • The single 1600 mg tablet is a practical alternative that may simplify treatment without compromising efficacy or safety.
