A member asked:
Is there a generic version of apriso for colites i take for apriso everyday is there a different version of a pill for assertive colites is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are multiple formulations of mesalamine, which is the active ingredient in apriso. If you're having problems with that medication, then i would talk with the doctor who prescribed it to see if another formulation would be better in your situation.
