Mesacol 400 mg delayed-release tablets are indicated for treating mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis in patients five years and older. Mesalamine is the primary active ingredient present in the medicine. It belongs to a class of aminosalicylic acid medication, which is an anti-inflammatory agent.  

 

Ulcerative colitis- A disease of the colon and rectum in which the lining of the bowel becomes red and swollen. Symptoms appear as frequent diarrhoea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain. Mesalamine tablets act locally in the colon to reduce inflammation and prevent further ulcerative colitis episodes.  

 

Crohn's ileocolitis- A disease that affects the small bowel and colon in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed. This may lead to the development of ulcers and narrowing in the bowel. Mesacol acts on the bowel and small colon to control the progression and prevent further episodes of Crohn's ileocolitis.  

Be sure to take Mesacol 400 mg tablets exactly as your doctor prescribes. You should check with your doctor if you have any doubts about the medicine's usage. Swallow the tablet with water with a glass full of water. D knot chew, crush or break the tablet. While taking the anti-inflammatory agent, ensure you drink adequate fluids to remain well hydrated, especially after severe or prolonged episodes of diarrhoea, vomiting, high fever, or heavy swelling.
