Brief Answer:
Asacol is an alternative.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Asacol is the same drug as Canasa. Have you recently been examined for disease extent? Just to make sure you don't need more aggressive treatment. The other types of medicine have nothing to do with treating ulcerative colitis. Hope this helps.
Thanks.
