Asacol Reviews

Show: for
I use Rowasa Enemas during flare ups. These are a life save to say the least
I'm not sure if it's working or not. I haven't had any test done since I've been on it.
Who knows, doesn't work but they have me on it anyway.
Had used this for flares for the last 5 years but recently has been ineffective. Going in for more colon glamour shots soon.
Asacol seems to be working to keep the flares to a minimum. I've been taking it for 20+ years.
I've been taking Asacol for the past month or so and I haven't had any signs of flare up since my first experience with one.
Very effective.
have on & off bouts of flare
but it works
Not yet certain if this works as a solo medication as I am currently using Asacol with another med. When I am prepared to use Asacol as a sole med, I can form an opinion. However, no apparent side effects so far after several weeks.
