Pentasa and headaches

My younger daughter who is on Pentasa keeps complaining of headaches. I am thinking ot must be a side effect of the Pentasa. I looked it up and it said mild headaches might be a dose effect but hers seem more then mild. Anyone else's child on Pentasa and get headaches?

I would think more likely inflammation
When ds has inflammation
( crohns arthritis allergies infection etc...)
He gets daily headaches and migraines
I would see a Neuro first and track her headaches for a month

99.9% of meds list headache as a side effects
 
Did she just start Pentasa? I can't remember. Might need a dosage change or something. I'd let the doctor know. My boy had headaches when he started Remicade. GI was just about to send him to neuro when it got better. Also when he was on flagyl (6-month treatment). in month 5, he got a bad headache and the Infectious Disease doctor discontinued it.
