Mesalazine 2g Sachets

Product Introduction

Mesalazine 2g is a 5-aminosalicylic acid medicine used for inflammatory bowel disease, especially ulcerative colitis, for mesalazine granules. Prolonged-release granules deliver medicine through specific parts of the intestine, so formulation and brand instructions matter. Mesalazine helps reduce bowel-lining inflammation and may be used for flare control or remission maintenance depending on the regimen.

How to use

Take Mesalazine 2g exactly as prescribed. Use granules according to product instructions and do not crush prolonged-release granules unless the label specifically allows it.

How it works

Mesalazine acts locally in the bowel lining to reduce inflammatory pathways involved in ulcerative colitis and related inflammatory bowel disease.

Common side effects

Possible effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, rash, and indigestion. Serious concerns include kidney inflammation, pancreatitis, chest pain from myocarditis/pericarditis, severe rash, blood disorders, and worsening colitis symptoms.

Important information

Review kidney disease, liver disease, sulfasalazine allergy, asthma, obstruction, active severe flare, pregnancy, breastfeeding, azathioprine, mercaptopurine, NSAIDs, and other kidney-risk medicines.
