Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Asacol HD from Canada?
Course cost = 252 tablets at the usual dose of 2.8 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. Course cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for one 6-week course; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Asacol HD used for?
Asacol HD (mesalamine) is an aminosalicylate, a medicine that calms inflammation in the colon. According to the FDA label for generic mesalamine 800 mg delayed-release tablets (DailyMed), it is used:
- To treat moderately active ulcerative colitis in adults.
The label's dose is two 800 mg tablets three times a day for 6 weeks, taken on an empty stomach and swallowed whole. The label says safety and effectiveness beyond 6 weeks have not been established, and that kidney function should be checked before starting. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Asacol HD from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Asacol HD, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic mesalamine before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Allergan's Asacol 800 was cancelled in January 2021 (Health Canada), so Canadian pharmacies may not carry the brand.
