ulcerative colitis, maintenance
"At the onset of my ulcerative colitis (UC), I was hospitalized for an extended time. I lost a lot of blood and had a transfusion. I was put on a very high dose of prednisone and was then introduced to Asacol.  While on Asacol, I've had just a few minor UC attacks that went away quickly when "upping" the Asacol during the flair-up.  I think it's a great drug.  I currently take 6 pills a day for maintenance."
