Ulcerative Colitis and Asacol

USA Script Helpers

What is Ulcerative colitis?

Ulcerative colitis is a bowel disease that causes the colon and rectum to become inflamed. It is a long-term condition and is caused by autoimmune diseases, genetics, or environmental factors. Its symptoms can be painful, including diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal cramping, and inability to defecate. As a treatment for UC, Asacol may be prescribed.

What Is Asacol?

Asacol is slowly released in the bowel and beyond as a topical anti-inflammatory for the colon. Asacol gastro-resistant tablets work by releasing mesalazine at a pH above 7 from the small bowels throughout the colon. This medication is designed to minimize systemic absorption in the digestive tract to effectively treat mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.

Asacol is also used to maintain the remission of Crohn’s ileocolitis, the most common type of Crohn’s disease. With this medication, symptoms of ileocolitis, such as the inflammation of the small intestine, is controlled.

Why Choose Asacol

Available in different delivery options, affordable Asacol has been clinically tested over a 6-week time frame for its effectiveness. Patients reported improvement on Asacol treatment for their UC within weeks. Results of the study were derived using clinical assessments, such as stool frequency and sigmoidoscopy. 70% of patients achieved improvement for UC, and rectal bleeding was reduced.

How to Take Asacol

Asacol is a delayed-release tablet that should be taken exactly how your doctor prescribed it. It can also be taken together with other medication for your digestive issues. The recommended dosage for adults is 2 800mg tablets 3 times a day. The tablets must be swallowed whole, and it is important to drink an adequate amount of liquid with it.

Asacol Side Effects

Just like any medication, Asacol may have some side effects. The more common side effects of Asacol can include:

  • Diarrhea
