Ulcerative colitis - worried about medications

My dad was diagnosed with UC
7 years ago, was in remission until 3 months ago. What is perplexing is that he has no outward symptoms-no pain, bloating etc, but scan shows severe inflammation and ulcers. Sadly, Prednisone & Melasimine are not putting him back in remission this time. He has an upcoming appt to go over options. Any words of advice, questions I should ask dr or research I should do would be greatly appreciated. Dad is 72 and also having cognitive decline, extreme dizziness & weakness. Worried, but trying to educate myself. Thank you in advance.

I am on Entyvio and in remission now about 3 myths. But it does have its side effects, aching and fatigue for me. It is not good to be on Prednisone too long, has lots of side effects. Good luck and hope the doctors find the right med for him.
