How Safe Is Taking Sazo For Ulcerative Colitis?

hello doctor,
He is an ulcerative colitis patient from the last 4 years but the ulcerative colitis flared up in November, 2010. His position is stable with regard to number of stools per day which is around 5-6, However, Things are out of control with regard to the side effects. The details are as following :

1)     After being treated with Pscyclosporine, Wysolone, Pantasa and Azoron : His stools were OK, but his apetite decreased, a drastic decrease in Hb, loss of weight and continous fever.
2)     Cyclosporine stopped in Feb 2011, infliximab injection was given till april ( 300 mg x 3 times ) ( rest medicines same ) : His stools were Ok, But again apetite decreased, fever continued, low hb,
3)     Due to the above he was then shifted to Balacol, Azoran and Wysolone : His stools were Ok, But again apetite decreased, fever continued, low hb,low protein
4)     18th May : Due to continuos fall in Hb and Continuous fever Azoran was stopped : After this the fever discontinued and Hb was still the same.
5)     Treatment Shifted to Delhi in July , Azoran was started again along with Mesacol and Wysolon. All other medications were stopped. But as soon as azoran was started, he had continuous fever and loss of apetite . For which the doctor gave him OFLOX antibiotic.

Now, our doctor has stopped azoran and mesacol. The final set of medicines are 7.5mg Wysolone, Sazo 500 x three times x folic acid and vitamin tablets.. The problem is that now my father is feeling some movements in his stomach and his frequency has increased to 7 per day as compared to 5... Pls can you help us to confirm if Sazo alone can treat this ???
