MESALMILE 

Mesalazine, also known as mesalamine, is a medication primarily used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Here's some information about it:

1. Mechanism of Action: Mesalazine is an anti-inflammatory agent that works locally in the colon. Its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed to exert its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and scavenging free radicals in the gastrointestinal tract. Mesalazine may also help to modulate the immune response in the gut.

2. Indications: Mesalazine is indicated for the induction and maintenance of remission in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis and for the maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease involving the colon or ileum. It may also be used off-label for other inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.
