Mesalazine

Uses

Mesalazine is used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

How it Works

How Mesalazine works Mesalazine is an aminosalicylate that functions by inhibiting the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for causing inflammation in the intestines. This action reduces ulceration, bleeding, and stomach pain while helping to prevent future flare-ups of the disease.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Mesalazine include flatulence, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, rash, and dyspepsia.

Your doctor may monitor your kidney and liver functions before you start treatment with this medication and regularly thereafter.
Inform your doctor if you have significantly decreased kidney or liver function.
Do not take Mesalazine if you are allergic to aspirin or if you have blood disorders.
Do not discontinue the medication suddenly without consulting your doctor.
Take Mesalazine with food.
Do not break, chew, or crush the tablets or granules; swallow them whole with plenty of water.
Avoid taking antacids with Mesalazine, as they can exacerbate your inflammation.
