Balsalazide Fun!

The cheapest medication I have found for UC in my current pre-existing condition, bad insurance state is Balsalazide for $150 a month. Pay $20 a year for Walgreens discount Rx drugs plan and you get about $150 per month off the big B!

Is it effective? Well it is hard to tell, because aside from UC I have hemorrhoids that bleed alot and must take Citrucel regularly to keep things moving. I will have to be on Balsalazide a bit longer to tell if it is worth it. I don't think it makes me as nauseous as Asacol HD, and nowhere near as bad as Rowasa.

Rowasa costs me $150 a week but the doc said I could take them as I can afford them...

Citrucel, you see.

My doc recommended Citrucel to help with UC and to straighten out general digestion issues. This was after I told him Metamucil was not effective for me.

The pink lemonade Metamucil tastes fine I think, and the standard orange flavor for Citrucel tastes even better in my opinion.

Metamucil is more natural than Citrucel but the latter is better for me!
