Hi & Welcome.
Based on the history Mesacol seems to be not effective in controlling ulcerative colitis in particular the inflammation involving the rectum (proctitis).

For such cases, topical steroids in the form of Hydrocortisone enema or foam
are recommended. These medications can be taken along with Mesacol suppositories for better response.
If there is no response to the above, you may need to take oral steroids in the form of Prednisolone tablets along with Mesacol tablets and Mesacol suppositories for the effective control of proctitis.

You need to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and proper instructions.

Hope these suggestions would be beneficial to you.
