"I took Pentasa for ulcerative colitis after Asacol started failing. Asacol had worked for me for seven years, but when P&G started having manufacturers make it in Europe, it no longer worked. The Pentasa worked for my ulcerative colitis at a 3-gram per day dosage. The side effects are much worse for Pentasa. I experienced nausea, mild headaches, and severe hair loss."

"I've been taking Pentasa tablets for about 3 weeks. I take two 500 mg tablets, 3 times a day. During the 3rd week, diarrhea set in. So far, I've gone through 7 straight days of diarrhea. I'll be seeing my doctor next week."

"Pentasa has changed my life totally. Was going to the toilet up to 10 times a day until I was prescribed this. Now I've got my freedom back. Brilliant! No side effects worth worrying about. Take 2 x 500 mg slow-release tablets twice a day."

"When my UC symptoms are flaring up a lot, it does nothing. When I'm on it after a flare-up, it still does nothing, and I still flare up."

"Works fine for me after 1 month using 3 gm daily, but the side effect was bad. Back and muscle pain. I can't move from pain."
