Ditto the above. Small pills are easier to swallow than big ones. Don't chew or break the little pills once out of the transparent capsule.

Oh....so, still the asacol 400mg pill on the capsule? Theyre small and easy to swallow.

Delzicol capsules contain 4 little pills. The pills shouldn't be crushed or chewed, but can be taken out of the capsule and swallowed one at a time.

Here's a pic:

Thanks... aren't they cute! Right, I remember now that they were changed. Still a good idea for kids and those who can't swallow large pills or capsules!

Thanks for all of the help, everyone!

Of course now my prescription has been delayed because of an insurance issue...

Update: while the GI/pharmacy tries to sort out the insurance nonsense with the Delzicol, I have been prescribed Pentasa. I just took my first dose. So easy.

I just don't understand why the GI even bothered to prescribe Lialda in the first case, given the fact that I told him I cannot swallow large pills.

*sigh*
