Posted on Thu, 7 Mar 2013
Question: Yes, Pharmaceutical companies have patient assistant programs when the patient has no insurance for prescriptions and will supply patients medicatations free if they have no income or low income. Need help to contact the pharma-
ceutical manufacturer "Salix" for the medication "Colazal"

She has not had her medication for the ulcerative colotis in 8 months, has constant severe diarrhea, has had to go to ER many times because of dehydration. She knows to push the fluids all the time, but needs the medicine badly (colazal).
Thank you for assistance for being able to get on a patient assistance program for this medication for my dear friend. XXXXXXX A. XXXXXXX
