Pentasa swollen glands side effect

[Polar a]

I was taking Pentasa for the last month but I have suffered from a sever side effect which caused very swollen and painful lymph nodes it started with 1 but the more I took pentasa the more I got within 4 days I had 11 on my neck and the back of my head, that's not counting the rest around my body, I went to the doctors 3 times and on the 3rd time I got to see a different one who had seen the side effect before as it is a rare one so if you get swollen lymph nodes go straight to the doctor. I have now been taken of pentasa and have been put on strong painkillers so I'm hoping the pain will get better. I wanted to right this story so you know if it happens to you, remember its rare so you might not suffer with it.

Thanks for reading :ysmile:

Thanks for sharing that Polar a. I have seen one other person on the forum with the same experience on Pentasa. It must have been really scary.
