Dipentum (active ingredient: olsalazine) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Ulcerative Colitis: Dipentum is used to treat active ulcerative colitis and to maintain remission in patients with this condition.

Dipentum belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds, which work by reducing inflammation in the colon and rectum, thereby alleviating symptoms and promoting healing of the mucosal lining.

Dipentum is an oral tablet that should be taken as directed by your doctor, typically twice a day, 12 hours apart. Taking the tablets with food or after meals can help prevent stomach upset. To prevent kidney stones, drink plenty of fluids during treatment unless told otherwise by your doctor.

The recommended adult dose for treatment of attacks is usually increased slowly over a one-week period starting with 500 mg daily and increasing to an average adult dose of 2 tablets 4 times daily. The recommended adult dose for prevention of attacks is 500 mg (2 Tablet) 2 times daily. The dose for children is based on the age and weight of the child.

Take olsalazine at regular intervals together with meals. Do not take more than 1 g at any one time. This medication should be taken in evenly divided doses. Taking the medication at the same time each day can help ensure the most benefit. If your condition does not improve or worsens while taking Dipentum, be sure to inform your doctor right away.
