Meds/problem areas

meds/problem areas

i have a question about the drugs people take for this. i've only been on prednisone (2 very short tapers) and now remicade, and don't know much about what people usually start off with.
do different ones work better on certain areas? like does 6mp or imuran work better for small intestine, colon, or rectal/perianal areas? which ones are best for what problems?
are there ones that people usually start off with, and if those don't work they go on to the next "level" of drugs?
i'm a newbie, and i went from nothing straight to biologics, so just curious about all the other drugs.
