so i exceed my prescription benefits for the year and now my asacol hd costs like 800.
i take 6x800 mg tablets a day and i have about 20 pills left to last me the year.
i'm going to add some dry red kidney beans to my pill bottle and take 6 pills/beans at random a day.
placebo!?!

just kidding..or am i? ^_^

Would not give me VSL#3DS, nor UCERIS nor HUMIRA. New doc she fixed that alright they called tonight to see if I was ready to begin receiving HUMIRA - told them 'no'.

Not expecting my ASACOL HD to run out, so they wont cover the amount/frequency set by your doctor ?

Eat the beans they have Resistant Starch, I use Navy and its the most effective maint med I ever used. I only take ASACOL HD because I caught it plunging my neutrophils while doing weekly bloodwork. Both work.

you could try Delzicol. It's basically the same thing.

Or possibly get samples from GI.
