Description
Indications
Mesalamine is indicated for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by inflammation and ulceration in the colon and rectal lining. It is additionally utilized for the maintenance of remission in patients with ulcerative colitis symptoms. Mesalamine belongs to a pharmacological class known as anti-inflammatory agents, and its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the synthesis of a specific substance responsible for inducing inflammation within the body.
Uses and Dosage
Mesalamine is available in different formulations, including delayed-release tablets, delayed-release capsules, and extended-release capsules, all of which are taken orally.
The delayed-release tablets are typically administered once daily with food by both adults and children. As for the delayed-release tablets, they are usually taken three times daily on an empty stomach (either one hour before or two hours after meals) by adults. The extended-release capsules are generally taken once daily in the morning, with or without food, by adults. For the extended-release capsules, adults typically take them four times daily, with or without food. The extended-release capsules are taken with or without food 2 to 4 times daily by adults and twice daily by children, preferably in the morning and afternoon.
Carefully follow the instructions on your prescription label, and if there are any aspects you do not comprehend, consult your doctor or pharmacist for clarification. Take mesalamine precisely as directed, neither exceeding nor reducing the prescribed dosage, and adhere to the recommended frequency.
Swallow the delayed-release tablets, delayed-release capsules, and extended-release capsules whole, without splitting, chewing, or crushing them. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the protective coating of the delayed-release tablets.
In the event that you find it challenging to swallow the extended-release capsules, you have the option to open the capsules and sprinkle the entire contents onto a tablespoon of applesauce or yogurt. Consume this mixture immediately after preparation, without chewing it.
If swallowing the delayed-release capsules becomes problematic, carefully open the capsules, swallow the entire contents of each capsule (without chewing), and then drink a glass of water to ensure that all the medication has been ingested.
While taking mesalamine, remain adequately hydrated by consuming ample fluids.
Continue the course of mesalamine until you have completed the prescribed regimen, even if you experience initial improvement. Do not discontinue mesalamine without consulting your doctor.
