What is Asacol?

Asacol contains mesalamine and is used to treat ulcerative colitis and to reduce the symptoms of it such as rectal bleeding, stomach pain and diarrhea. Mesalamine works by preventing the body from producing inflammation causing substances and by decreasing swelling within the colon.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Asacol tablets should be taken with a full glass of water on an empty stomach. Take it either one hour before or two hours after a meal.
• Swallow tablets whole without chewing, crushing or breaking.
• Take your full prescription of mesalamine even if you feel better at the start of your treatment. Do not stop taking this medication without speaking to a doctor.
• Tell your doctor if you find undissolved tablets in your stool or if your symptoms persist or worsen.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug or other allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.

• If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breast feeding.

Also be aware that:
