Description
Indications
Mesalamine is employed for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the colon and rectum. Additionally, it serves to sustain the progress achieved in alleviating symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Categorized as anti-inflammatory agents, mesalamine operates by impeding the body’s production of a specific substance known to trigger inflammation.
Uses and Dosage
Follow your doctor’s guidance and take this medication orally, usually four times a day. If you’re consuming the capsule form, you have the option to take it with or without food. For the tablet form, it’s recommended to take it with meals.
Ingest the medication whole—avoid crushing, chewing, or breaking it. These actions could disrupt proper drug release into the colon. If you encounter difficulties swallowing the capsule, you can open it and sprinkle the contents onto applesauce or yogurt prior to consumption. Swallow the entire mixture, comprising the medication and food, immediately without chewing. Refrain from chewing the mixture or preparing it in advance.

Caution
Prior to initiating mesalamine, inform your doctor or pharmacist about any allergic reactions you may have, whether to mesalamine itself, other aminosalicylates, salicylates, sulfasalazine, or any other allergens. This product may contain inactive components capable of triggering allergic reactions or other complications.
Before utilizing this medication, disclose your medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, particularly if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or stomach blockage (like pyloric stenosis).
This medication might heighten your sensitivity to sunlight, especially if you have skin conditions like atopic dermatitis or eczema. Be cautious when exposed to sunlight. Refrain from using tanning booths and sunlamps, and ensure you use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors. Should you experience sunburn or skin blisters/redness, promptly inform your doctor.
This medication possesses similarities to aspirin. Children and adolescents below 18 years of age should refrain from taking aspirin or aspirin-related medications (such as salicylates) if they have chickenpox, the flu, an undiagnosed illness, or have recently received a vaccine. In these scenarios, the consumption of aspirin heightens the risk of a rare yet serious condition known as Reye’s syndrome.
