Lialda Vs Asacol-

Hey all-

Well Im on my 4th flare now... I made it about 3 months pretty much symptom free taking Lialda 2 pills in the morning, pro-biotic one in the morning one at night, and DGL pills 2-3 times a day.

Well I'm flaring again.... No blood though!

I have insurance, but no script coverage, and of course because of this lovely disease, I no longer can get script coverage - as far as I've found.


I was looking on Canadian sites for cheap Lialda and didnt find any really great deals. I did however find what seems to be a pretty good deal on generic 400mg Asacol.

I have used both, but what is the difference between these two pills? Is one known to be better than the other?

I'm also looking for cheap rowasa, and my doctor is having me try proctofoam. Also, for spasms in my stomach I'm taking hyomax.

I'm really frustrated because I'm supposed to leave in an hour for a romantic weekend with my girl friend in the mountains, and of course I can barely leave the bathroom.


So questions and a rant all in one post!

Thanks in advance,

I looked into the patient assistance programs, but I earn too much right now.

I have canasa and have used it. I also used the rowasa enemas.

I guess I'm more curious for info from people who have used both Lialda and Asacol and which they preferred.
