" Wow... no responses to your post yet? Hmmmm... too bad. I find the Hydrocortisone Acetate (25mg) suppositories to be VERY VERY usefull... just make sure you keep them in a cool place (or store them in the fridge to prevent 'melting'). It is more convenient than carrying around the Rowasa Enemas (or such), and much easier to insert! Good luck with this....

Don't quote me on this, but the name "Canasa" might just be a BRAND name for the suppository. The Hydrocortisone Supp. would just be like the 'generic', so it would be much cheaper!

If you're worried... do we www.WebMD.com search to see the active ingredients in both... ok? "
