Core Tip The etiology of microscopic colitis (MC) is unknown. There is a strong association with autoimmune disorders, smoking, and medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, proton pump inhibitors, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. There are no societal guidelines on how to manage patients with MC. Data is strongest for the use of budesonide. Budesonide can rapidly induce clinical remission but relapse occurs frequently after discontinuation of budesonide. Anti-diarrheals may be used alone in mild MC or in conjunction with other therapies in moderate to severe MC. There is limited data on management of steroid-dependent or refractory MC but anti-TNF and diverting ileostomy may be options.
