Hi
The three drugs can be used in crohn's disease.
1.Pentasa is specifically used in crohn's disease.
2.Folvolite contains Folic acid.
3.VSL#3 is a probiotic.
The duration of the treatment depends on the symptoms.
But,these medicines have to be taken/stopped as per your doctor's advice.
Wish you good health
