Colazal Medication Information

Healthcare providers often prescribe Colazal® (balsalazide disodium) to treat ulcerative colitis. This type of irritable bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by inflammation in the colon, which leads to symptoms like rectal bleeding. This drug comes in capsule form and is typically taken three times a day.
 
Prior to taking Colazal, make sure your healthcare provider has up-to-date information about any other medications you are taking (including nonprescription products and supplements) and any other medical conditions you have. This product is not suitable for everyone, and discussing these things with your healthcare provider can help him or her ensure that this is the best medicine for you.
