Dipentum (olsalazine) for Ulcerative Colitis "I have used Dipentum since first being diagnosed 35 years ago. The dosage has been 500mg twice a day. During this period, I have only had two flairs. One was when, on the advice of my physician, I attempted to wean myself from the medication. I have had no adverse side effects. Recently, on the advice of my physician, I substituted Mesalamine. The side effects were severe. On returning to Dipentum all side effects were alleviated. Medicines are idiosyncratic. Dipentum is worth an experiment."

Dipentum (olsalazine) "I have Chron's disease. I took Dipentum for over 30 years, but they would not cover it after going on Medicare. I had to get it from a Canadian pharmacy and now they can no longer get it. I don’t know if I could get it from an American pharmacy but even if I could I wouldn’t be able to afford it. When on it I didn’t have any flair-ups with my Crohns. It really worked and was excellent. I had no side effects."
