User Reviews for Mesalamine (Lialda, Pentasa, and others)

I used this when i was first diagnost with crohn's back in 2008, it worked well enough but i had a really hard time swallowing these pills, they would have been better if the were coated a bit

MEDICATION WAS STARTED 7/16/2010 .THE MEDCATION IS HELPING ALOT.MY INSURANCE WONT PAY FOE THE MEDICATION.

My colitis symptoms have reacted favorably to this medication, but I have been experiencing rather severe and disturbing hair loss. Has anyone else had this reaction?

ABDOMEN PAIN FOR YEAR THE PUT ME IN THIS MEDICATION LIALDA.I LIKE TO KNOW IS THIS MEDICATION IS THE BEST MEDICATION FOR CROHN DISEASE. THANK YOU. JOSE

I have pain in my joint's, bones and I feel like my mind is not working. I can't remmber anything any more.

can vicodin be taken with pentasa

I had complete lung failure and on life support while taking this drug. I improved only after the dosing of this med was stopped. I was told this is an extremely rare side effect...just my luck.

I was diagnosed in 1974 and am lucky enough to have a very mild case. I take 2/day (when I remember). Rather than diarreha I have the opposite condition most of the time. Cramping, for me, seems to be related more to stressful situations than any other single thing. No operations as yet, nor will there be any with any continuing good fortune.

Dizzy,burning in throat,metallic taste after taking the drug for several weeks. I will seek to reduce of stop this med.

asacol seems to be the only drug that has stopped my bleeding. slthough i hate taking 9 pills a day im dealing with it.

I'VE HAD UC OF 13YRS. AND WAS ON ASACOL FOR THE PAST 9 YRS. NOT JOINT OR OTHER PAINS. THE DR. STARTED REMACADE AND LIALDA RECENTLY. SINCE I STARTED TAKING LIALDA I'M VERY TIRED, WAKE UP WITH HEADACHES, EVERY JOINT IN MY BODY HURTS. STARTED TAKING PAIN PILLS. ALSO I'VE NOTICED I'VE MORE URGES DAY AND NIGHT TO URINATE. INTERUPTING MY SLEEP. I'M GOING TO ASK MY DR. TO PUT ME BACK ON ASACOL. I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TABLETS I HAVE TO TAKE IF I DON'T HAVE THIS UNBEARABLE PAIN. THE REMACADE GAVE ME NO SI... DE EFFECTS.

It makes my hair fall out, a huge amount of strands every morning.

I take 8 tablets daily it has not helped in 3-4 weeks use.

Take Pentasa (8 caps) with 150 mg Immuran daily and it has worked for over 12 years. Many surgeries before Pentasa only one since. No major side effects besides having to take so many big pills.
