Why Asacol Changed It’s Name to Delzicol

Hey, if you’re NOT treating your UC with medications,  this is not going to be too much of intereset for you.  BUT, if for some of you using medications, this might help clear things up.

Specifically, if you used to take Asacol (now called Delzicol), you’ve probably realized by now that it is no longer being manufactured.  I know that there’s alot of you who are still concerned about this change (similar to Colazal switching its name to Apriso) so I’m hoping that this video from the Mayo Clinic will help you understand exactly what has and has not changed.



If you still have some questions about all the mesalamine drug name changes such as Asacol moving to a new name of Delzicol, feel free to post your comments below.  After all, they are super popular medications with gastroenterologists in terms of first line treatments after diagnosis and later on, so most definitely there are tens of thousands of colitis folks who use this site who are among that group.

Thanks again for watching and for being a part of the site.

Best of luck to you all who are super pumped to be starting out September once again.  I’ve always felt like September was sort of the official end of the summer (northern hemi folks), but on the other side, all you folks down there in the south side are getting ready for springtime eh…?

I’m going to be posting up a video soon with a recap on how I’m feeling, and what’s new with me.  Got a bit of work to do, but should be cool.
