Lialda Dosing

I'm taking 4.8 grams of Lialda once per day every morning as part of my treatment regimen for UC, but I've yet to achieve remission after three months post diagnosis.  I'm fairly certain I read in the package insert that 4.8 is the max dose per day in labeling.  However, doctors of course can use discretion with dosing and can prescribe doses outside of labeling when they see fit.  That said, just curious if anyone out there is taking more than 4.8 grams per day, and if so, do you take it all at once or divide it into two daily doses?

As StealthGuardian says, the lit doesn't support taking more than 4.8g of mesalamine orally.

I recommend adding mesalamine enemas. Studies show that dual therapy (both oral and rectal mesalamine) is superior to either one alone in both inducing and maintaining remission.
