User Reviews for Asacol oral

I had explosive diarhea for 7 weeks before being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Asacol gave me back my life by controlling my symptoms completely!

i have UC for about 15 years been on asacol 400 mg for about 12years i have not had any problems since i started asacol and since i dont have have insurance i get it from big mountain drugs from Canada 600 pills $332

I will have to say that if this drug works for you, it's much easier to take because the pills are much smaller then other drugs I've taken for my Ulcerative Colitis. However, the Asacol made me very ill. I had to stopped taking it after only 3 days because I had severe abdominal pain and bleeding.

This med is working for me so far after being at the verge of loosing my job I'm so thankful

taking it because my body digests food 3 times faster than normal and this medication made me sleepy, headaches, vomiting, stomach pain and symtoms worse

It has caused bloating, headaches, gas. Although, it has stopped diarrhea.

Stool is still loose

When I started taking this drug my symptoms improved some for about a month, then immediately my symptoms deteriorated to worse than before I started the drug.

I have been using Asacol for 2 months now for Crohn's Disease. It has helped immensley. My stomach pains are diminished and my bowel movements have decreased significantly.

I was diagnosed with Colitis / Proctitis approximately 2 months ago. I have been taking Asacol since I was diagnosed. I take the 800 MG 3 times a day. I also took the suppository for 4 weeks. My symptoms went away after the first month. The bleeding stopped after about 2 weeks of treatment. I am having some side effects, they are minor. The most concerning is that I believe I am having slight hair lose. I am very glad that this medicine has stopped my bleeding. Hopefully I can reduce my intake to 2 times a day after a few more months. It is difficult to take a pill 3 times a day.Read More Read Less

My mild colitis has been controlled well by this med/Asacol.

it has keep me out of the hospital but very expensive for me to stay on it. i would like financial asst

I have had way more flare ups and more hospital visits while on this drug! I found Pentasa to be superior, BY FAR! almost 11 years of dealing with my UC and the insurance company will not pay for the drug that actually worls for me,...... Asacol helps a little but I am searching for something better! I have small children and do not have the time or energy to be dealing with constant stomach pains and frequent visits to the restroom..

asacol is a new med for me. I have been on dipentum for years but is so expensive I needed to find A less expensive one. I have been on asacol for about six weeks and so far so good.

I had a colonoscopy due to pains in the abdomen and chronic constipation. I was diagnosed with diverticulosis. I was given samples of Lialda and when picking up my actual prescription, I was given both Lialda and Asacol. Seems to me as if these are the same meds. Havent started taking this yet, after reading all these side effects. Why would my doctor prescribe both for chronic constipation?? Any advice?

i scream with pain even with meds asacal

I have had all the flu like symptoms. Took it once got worse was put on steriods. Given Asacol to get off the steriods and gt sicker again. I'll never take it again.

I was diagnosed 13 years ago with chrons and was put on asacol and had great success. About 2 years on the drug started feeling \unwell. Dr. not worried. Had a bone marrow test to find out I was in enstage renal failure because of an allergic reaction to the drug. Should of had frequent blood tests but didn't. Dr. not worried. After bone marrow test found out my creatine was 728 should be 60 to 100. Now mu kidneys are poor and will need a transplant. So to all out there please insist on blood tests so you don't end up like me. Very few have this problem. PLEASE checkRead More Read Less
