Side Effects
Very painful urination

Additional Thoughts
I've had uc for over 40 years. My gastroenterologist started me on it originally and I suffered through many summers. I was very active and sweated a lot and if I didn't drink an abnormal amount of liquids, I would urinate very painful orange urine. It was so bad that I stopped taking it on a maintenance basis and just used prednisolone enemas when I had flareups for many years. I eventually went to a different doctor who prescribed Asacol. What a God-send! No side effects and no more painful urination problems. Anyone having problems with azulfidine should try Asacol. Another plus, the Asacol tabs are smaller. Whenever I get a rarely occuring flareup now, I use Rowasa enemas for a couple weeks and I'm back to remission. Good luck to all!
