Data accumulate to show that these drugs may well be used as an adjunctive therapy to oral anti-inflammatory drugs. Circumstantial evidence has also been provided that antibacterial drugs are effective in relieving symptoms related to bacterial overgrowth and when used for specific indications such as perianal lesions.
