Combination products containing aminosalicylate
A combination is a different drug — different dosing, different warnings. It is listed here so you can find it, not so you can substitute it.
What people report to the FDA about aminosalicylate
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 150 reports naming aminosalicylate, and the FDA flagged 96% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- sciatica40 reports
- joint stiffness39 reports
- type 2 diabetes mellitus38 reports
- upper respiratory tract infection38 reports
- vomiting38 reports
- road traffic accident37 reports
- sinusitis37 reports
- systemic lupus erythematosus37 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean aminosalicylate caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take aminosalicylate with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run aminosalicylate against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What brand names is aminosalicylate sold under?
We track 2 aminosalicylate-containing products in the U.S.: Paskalium and Teebacin. They are the same active ingredient; they differ in form, manufacturer, price and FDA recall record.
What forms does aminosalicylate come in?
Across the brands we track, aminosalicylate is currently marketed as tablet and capsule, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic aminosalicylate?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled aminosalicylate product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
