"Salofalk I got first in the hospital while I was on Pentasa at home. Found it easier to swallow. I requested to be switched so I could swallow it (even when later developing a non-related swallowing disorder). Does not show up in bits in my stool (not absorbed) like Pentasa did. So far, it has kept me in remission. Went from 2 pills 3 times a day to 2 pills twice a day to now only 2 pills in the morning."

"Loved it, absolutely did! Way better than Pentasa and is mostly out of stock for where I live! On the other hand, Pentasa is easy to get but not as effective as Salofalk."

"Switched from Pentasa, which I was throwing up or having it come out in bits in my stool (not absorbed). Salofalk is easier to swallow and has kept me in remission, although how much of it is due to the drug and not just avoiding stress, which triggers my symptoms, I don't know. It is coated better than Pentasa, and the oblong shape works better for swallowing, as they are not small."
