Is there a program where my son can get help with his Rx for asacol? He does not have insurance.
ve just started a flare when in the UK for xmas (had doxy... antibiotics which I think triggered it) and doc prescribed asacol foam enemas- FX they will work. I will buy a few boxes to take back to Japan and avoid another flare. It is ridiculous that all drugs are not available in all developed countries especially when we pay an insurance premium anyway.
I hope you are symptom free and all the best for 2012!
Has anyone tried Lialda? Does it perform any better than Asacol? How much more is your co-pay for Lialda than Asacol. I want to ask my doc to make a switch.
i was prescribed asacol 2x 400mg, 3 times a day for two weeks. after this time i was also diagnosed with CKD at stage 3a with a GFR of 53 and a creatinine clearance of 87.14ml/min.
i took asacol again for one month at a reduced rate of 1x 400mg, 3 times a day (3-4 tablets recommended for prevention of relapse).
then i stopped taking it for 2 months.

I will tell you this and ppl will criticize me for it but I would recommend going to a natural store or a GNC or online store. Buy some 100% pure oregano oil you can usually find a small vile with an eye dropper lid. When you brush your teeth put 1 to 3 drops on top on the toothpaste on your brush and brush your teeth scrubbing you tongue, teeth, cheeks, and gums. Oregano oil is has antifungal properties and works wonders for many things like gingivitis, kanker sores, burns, etc.
I have noticed that my asacol is not breaking down and is being passed in my stool! Is their a reason for this? What can/should I do?

I have a NEW G.I. doc who keeps referring me to a colonoscopy and an MRCP before she decides to do anything but I've had a flare-up of UC for a month and need some relief. Today I saw a whole Asacol HD tablet excreted and the G.I.doc said "that's ok--it's still absorbed." Ok--so now I must be reasonable and ask a question as how is it absorbed when NONE OF IT--repeat, NONE OF IT---is degraded at all? This woman doesn't get it. Anyway, what should I do now?
The idea is to get off the steroids asap but make sure the bleeding is stopped. The other thing is to increase the Asacol right away to get the UC under control and adjust her dosage to manage it. If she is still having trouble then she needs to treat it from both ends, so get her GI to prescribe an enema nightly with her regular Asacol orally but it's very important to get her off the prednezone. It's bad taking it continuously.
they sell generics so you have to search for ingredient tenofovir or name of the generic drug and not by viread
He was switched from Asacol to Pentasa when his liver enzymes were slightly elevated. He was on a steroid for the first 2 years after he was diagnosed. He hasn't been on a steroid since 2006, when he was diagnosed with Diabetes. The Steroids are more for the flares, the Pentasa is used more as a maintenance drug. He is also on Purinethol, which is chemotherapy agent, to help decrease abnormal growths. Good luck.
Had coloscopy in August-showed some mild inflammation in ilieum and rectal area-was put on Asacol. Asacol helped the rectal pain but RLQ pain continued. Went back to ED in Nov for severe RLQ pain. CT and bloodwork normal. I had changed from Asacol to Pentasa the week before and the rectal pain had come back-significant burning pain. Went to another doctor and had more bloodwork-borderline IBD tests. Went off Pentasa for a few days in Dec and had severe RLQ pain and right hand pain.
i have crohn;s and have been in flare for almost a year (i know. crazy right) i was put on humira after the asacol made me feel awful once i was taken off the entocort. the humira made me REALLY REALLY SICK and still, 3 mos later, feel worse now than i did before i started taking it. a couple weeks ago the doc put me back on asacol and entocort.
anyways... about 2 mos ago my skin started getting really REALLY bad.
Hello all,
I have Crohns disease, and for about a year have been having some abnormally high liver function tests. The Dr. is changing my medications a bunch (off Asacol, reduced Imuran, etc), and I have abstained from alcohol use (not heavy drinker, but partied hard when I did), but my liver counts have not decreased significantly. I am wondering if my daily Marijuana smoking could be causing the elevated liver functions, rather than the medications or something else.
I was going to say, online online online. Anything unusual in the size department (such that a store wouldn't want to carry a lot of them because they wouldn't sell in one local area) -- that is what Internet merchants are so good for.
When we take antibiotics, it kill all the good bacteria in our system. Keep taking probiotics. Go to health food store and buy pH test strips. If it is lower than 7.3 your body is in a acidic state. Wheat Grass will alkalize. Check your diet! What chemicals are you putting in your mouth? What are you eating? MSG causes neurological diseases and MSG has 13 other names. Are you microwaving your foods?....Food cannot be digested properly after microwaving...see dangers of microwaving.
Try to stay away from dairy, alcohol, grains (have rice instead). If you can figure out what triggered the flare, that would be helpful so you know to avoid it in the future.
