Suggest Alternate Medication To Canasa To Treat Inflammation Of Colon

I have been diagnosed with inflamation of the colon. I was prescribed a drug called Canasa, which is very expensive. I am looking for a better description of the problem and a clearer explaination of the drug Canasa and what it is used for and what may be substitured.
