Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Pentasa from Canada?
90-day cost = 720 capsules at the usual dose of 8 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day 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 of the same strength (500 mg); rows for other strengths show no saving. 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 90 days; 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.

Pentasa cost at a glance
- Generic Pentasa is sold in the U.S. The FDA has approved generic mesalamine extended-release capsules rated equivalent to Pentasa: 500 mg from Sun Pharma, and 250 mg and 500 mg from Sandoz (FDA Orange Book).
- U.S. list price: $728.69 for a bottle of 120 Pentasa 500 mg capsules, which lasts 15 days at the label dose. That's $1,457.38 for 30 days and $4,372.14 for 90 days. A bottle of 240 capsules of 250 mg also lists at $728.69. These are the maker's wholesale prices before discounts (Texas DSHS).
- How we count: 8 capsules a day, because the label dose is 1 g (two 500 mg capsules) four times a day. So 90 days is 720 capsules of 500 mg. With 250 mg capsules the same dose takes 16 a day, so our 90-day figures for 250 mg cover only 45 days.

What is Pentasa used for?
Pentasa (mesalamine) is an aminosalicylate, a medicine that calms inflammation in the lining of the bowel. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To bring mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis into remission (induction) and to treat its symptoms, in adults.
Pentasa comes as 250 mg and 500 mg extended-release capsules. The label dose is 1 g four times a day (two 500 mg or four 250 mg capsules each time). The capsules are swallowed whole, or opened and sprinkled on applesauce or yogurt. The label calls for kidney tests before starting and during treatment. Pentasa has no boxed warning. It must not be used by people allergic to salicylates or aminosalicylates. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Pentasa from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Pentasa, 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, Ferring sells Pentasa as extended-release tablets (500 mg and 1 g), suppositories and enemas, not capsules (Health Canada).
