5-aminosalicylate is Asacol, I believe. Very anecdotal - and therefore useless - Asacol in my experience is 1) expensive; and 2) useless. I have what my specialist calls "non-specific" colitis, which I assume means he hasn't the vaguest what's going on. Asacol and one of the sulfa drugs had no effect. What does work is a combination of of pred and lomotil. It does nothing to eliminate the underlying problem, but it stops periodic flare-ups in its tracks. Which is all I really need. OTOH - Alcohol Diphenoxylate may enhance the actions of alcohol,2 resulting in increased drowsiness, dizziness, imbalance, and poor response times. Therefore, people taking diphenoxylate should avoid alcohol, especially when staying alert is necessary. Yep.
