Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are immune-mediated diseases and usually manifest at a young age. They are requires in a long-term treatment or surgery with a high probability of surgical intervention. IBDs are accompanied by a decrease in working capacity, impaired quality of life and social disadaptation. However, timely diagnosis with using modern diagnostic methods, the use of evidence-based immunosuppressive and biological therapy significantly changed the pathomorphosis of this disease. But despite the achievements of the pharmacotherapy, the incidence and prevalence of IBD are still increasing, a demand for surgery remains both for Crohn`s disease and ulcerative colitis throughout all the period of illness. At the same time there is a trend towards the variability of symptoms, mismatch of the clinical symptoms with the real severity of inflammation, increase of a number of patients with extraintestinal manifestations and resistance to induction and maintenance therapies. In addition to this, the observation of this group of patients is complicated due to the difficulty of the early diagnosis and differential analysis of IBD, the need of early induction treatment according to the guidelines and the lack of adherence to the therapy.

Treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases IBD (Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis) is aimed at achieving clinical, endoscopic and histological remission, minimizing surgical complications, and ensuring a normal quality of life. However, the use of medical treatment is potentially associated with various adverse events, among which infectious complications, malignant neoplasms, as well as myelotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, skin lesions and others. The risk of side effects depends on the type of drug therapy (5-aminosalicylates, thiopurines, biologicals, etc.), the duration of treatment, the presence of extra-intestinal manifestations, etc. The article provides an overview of data on both the effectiveness and frequency of various side effects of the main classes of drugs in IBD, presents methods of investigation which can predict the effectiveness and development of side effects, the implementation of which can be considered as a variant of personalized therapy in IBD.
