I finally have health insurance with prescription coverage, but hit a snag. They won't cover my asacol HD because I haven't failed on any other drugs. Its great to think that to get coverage for the doctors recommended drug the insurance company wants me to suffer first

.

Anyway, I'm currently taking 3 800MG asacol HD every morning, and now will have to take 3 400MG asacol before breakfast and dinner. I can't imagine theres any significant different between the two, but figured I'd ask you guys. I have been on the asacol HD for a year now and have had no problems, I don't want to risk complications.
thanks

No advise, but hope the other works as well for you. I have been maintained with just Asacol myself and it works great for me. Could your doctor help you fight the insurance company so you could stay on the HD instead? Just a thought! Hugs!
