Dipentum Overview
Olsalazine is used to treat a certain type of bowel disease called ulcerative colitis. It does not cure ulcerative colitis, but it may decrease symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding caused by irritation/swelling of the colon/rectum. After an attack is treated, olsalazine is used to increase the amount of time between attacks. Olsalazine is an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory drug. It is believed to work by blocking the production of certain natural substances (such as prostaglandins) that may cause pain and swelling.
How to Use Dipentum
Take Dipentum by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day about 12 hours apart. Take with food or after meals to prevent stomach upset. Dosage of Dipentum is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Drink plenty of fluids during treatment with Dipentum unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This will help prevent kidney stones. Use Dipentum regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it gets worse.
