I no longer have prescription coverage and want to know where I can get Asacol cheaper.  I remember someone mentioning they got it from an online Canadian pharmacy?

Thanks <3

We have some helpful websites in our Resource section.

Try the manufacturer. They sometimes have deals for scenarios like yours

There is a generic asacol manufactured and sold in Canada. You need a prescription from your doctor. He can fax or call it in. Prices are under 35 cents a pill. The different Canadian pharmacies run specials with the price as low as 30 cents. Some states have referral programs for Canadian pharmacies. You need to kind of check them out as there are bogus companies on the net pretending to be Canadian.

Mexico is $1 a tablet for the brandname with no prescription needed. You have to go to Mexico though. I have bought drugs in Mexico and it is kind of a pain in the butt.

another alternative is switching to sulfasalazine

I can give you a link to a Canadian pharmacy I used in the past with good service. Just send an email to the address listed in my profile and I will be glad to send it along. (I would post it here but have a feeling that is against the rules)
