I've UC for 10 months and have been on Lialda since I was first diagnosed. I recently got new insurance and the new company does not cover Lialda, making me pay $800 a month. They denied my prior-autnorization from the doctor and said I have to try and fail with 3 meds out of Apriso, Dipentum, balsalazide, or sulfasalazine before they will cover my Lialda. I have applied for the patient assistance program with Shire but incase they do not accept me, I need a back up plan.
Has anyone ever taken any of these medicines or switched from Lialda to these. I have no side effects when I take Lialad, so I'm hopping if I have to switch, I can get something similar. Thanks!!
