Thank you for your question. It appears that balsalazide is a prodrug of mesalamine, which would be better tolerated and have better efficacy than mesalamine, especially for the large intestine. A prodrug of mesalamine available in Canada is OLSALAZINE (Dipentum). If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to consult a healthcare professional.
