Thank you for the replies. I do have Crohn's. I've had it for over 20 years. I've been on Asacol for 10 years. I will look into the legality of ordering from Canada. Since my doctor suggested it, I thought it was ok, but thanks for the heads up, I will look into it. And I did try to get the Asacol HD, but my insurance is not wanting to cover it, they want me to try another medication and I don't want to switch meds right now because I keep reading about the side effects people were having from switching medications when Asacol 400 mg was discontinued. I know there was Delzicol that replaced it too, but I read a lot of people had side effects from it. So after I heard that you can get the Asacol 400 mg it in Canada I thought I would look into that option. I'm assuming if my ins covered it, switching to Asacol HD 800 mg would be the best thing and just half my dose from the 400 mg, but since they won't cover it, I'm trying to not have to switch to a new drug like Delzicol or Lialda. Just wanted to find a reputable Canadian company that has worked for others. Thank you for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it.
