User Reviews for Colazal

Colazal (balsalazide) for Ulcerative Colitis: There is new generic version of Colazal now. I was wondering if anyone has used it and found any problems with it vs the brand name drug.

Colazal (balsalazide) for Ulcerative Colitis, Active: Tried for a few months some years ago. No side effects, didn't seem as effective as Asacol for me. Needs specific conditions in the gut to "cleave" into the active medication, I think my particular gut wasn't suited. Beware that not every med will work in everyone, Asacol included. Try meds and observe how you fare.

Colazal (balsalazide) for Ulcerative Colitis: Helps in-between flareups.

Colazal (balsalazide) for Crohn's Disease: I have tried several medications for my Crohn's Disease, including steroids, antibiotics, 6-mp, Entocort, Asacol. After having surgery to remove my ileum, Colazal seems to be the only medication that has helped and not caused any major side effects. From time to time I have flare ups, but overall Colazal seems to be working.

Colazal (balsalazide) for Ulcerative Colitis: This medicine really helped me get in remission about 6 years ago. I'm still taking it as a maintenance drug- but I have been flaring up for the past 2 years while taking it. Prednisone has been my savior as far as the flaring up. Next step...Remicade. We will see how it goes!

Colazal (balsalazide) for Ulcerative Colitis: Cheaper than some other medicines. It's my wonder drug.

Colazal (balsalazide) for Crohn's Disease: Colazal completely rid me of all Crohn's symptoms after years of suffering. I'm worried now, after 4-5 yrs symptom free I need a kidney transplant. Will I still be able to use it if I get a flare up?
