Overall easy to use mostly effective and overall satisfied with product can't wait for generic or a cure I know its here we just have to find it

I was put on this 2 months after having a baby. I used to take asacol and loved it. My doctor suggested I take this and my symptoms have gotton worse.I prefer the asacol. Even though it was more pills it was more effective.
