Asacol is an aminosalicylate drug used to treat inflammatory bowel disease. Asacol tablets are indicated in pediatric patients (aged 5 and above), adults and elders for treatment and prophylaxis of:

The recommended adult dose of Asacol in the treatment of active ulcerative colitis is 2.4 grams per day (2 tablets of Asacol three times a day) for 6 weeks.
