Asacol is an aminosalicylate drug used to treat inflammatory bowel disease. Asacol tablets are indicated in pediatric patients (aged 5 and above), adults and elders for treatment and prophylaxis of:

The recommended adult dose of Asacol in the treatment of active ulcerative colitis is 2.4 grams per day (2 tablets of Asacol three times a day) for 6 weeks.
To maintain remission of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis, the recommended dose of Asacol is 1.6 grams per day. The dose of Asacol for children is calculated based on the child's body weight and disease severity. The maximum pediatric dose should not exceed 2.4 grams per day.
