Additional Information

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and frequency of Asacol tablets as directed by your healthcare provider to achieve the best results. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

Asacol tablets have a special enteric coating that helps deliver the medication to the colon where it is needed most. This targeted delivery reduces the risk of systemic side effects and enhances the drug’s effectiveness in treating ulcerative colitis.
