Mesalazine 1g Sachets

Product Introduction

Mesalazine 1g is a 5-aminosalicylic acid medicine used for inflammatory bowel disease, especially ulcerative colitis, for mesalazine granules. Prolonged-release granules are designed to deliver medicine through specific parts of the intestine, so product type and brand instructions matter and should not be swapped casually. Mesalazine helps reduce inflammation in the bowel lining and may be used to induce remission or maintain remission depending on the regimen.

How to use

Take Mesalazine 1g exactly as prescribed. Swallow or sprinkle granules only according to the product instructions. 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.
