What is Mesacol used for?
Mesacol contains mesalamine and is used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis. It helps reduce inflammation in the colon lining and is effective in both the active and maintenance phases of treatment.
How does Mesacol work?
Mesalamine, the active ingredient, acts locally in the colon to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This action helps relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.
What are the common side effects of Mesacol?
Side effects can include nausea, headache, and abdominal discomfort. Rare but serious effects like kidney or liver issues may occur and warrant regular lab monitoring.
Can Mesacol be taken long-term?
Yes, Mesacol is commonly used for long-term maintenance therapy in ulcerative colitis to prevent flare-ups. Long-term use should be monitored with regular blood and urine tests to assess kidney and liver function.
Is Mesacol safe during pregnancy?
Mesacol is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it should only be used under a doctor’s supervision. Benefits and risks must be carefully weighed in each individual case.
