MESALMILE 1

Can You Order Mesalazine 1 g (MESALMILE 1) with Home Delivery in India?

What Current Indian Regulations Require

  • Under Indian law, medicines — especially those for serious conditions like inflammatory bowel disease — must be dispensed by a licensed pharmacist and only with a valid prescription from a registered doctor

  • These legal requirements apply equally to offline and online pharmacies. 

  • When ordering online, legitimate platforms must verify the prescription before dispatch; they must also operate under a valid retail-pharmacy license and ensure compliance with quality and safety standards. 

Current Legal and Regulatory Limitations

  • Despite growing popularity of e-pharmacies and online medicine ordering, there is no unified, mandatory national regulatory framework explicitly authorizing unrestricted online sale and doorstep delivery of all medicines. 

  • Because of this lacuna — and concerns around misuse, counterfeit medicines, and lack of in-person pharmacist supervision — many authorities view online sale of prescription medicines as risky. 

  • In practice, some online pharmacies still operate, but their legality remains in a regulatory “grey zone.”

What This Means for Patients Wanting MESALMILE 1

  • If you have a genuine prescription for Mesalazine 1 g, and you choose an authorized, licensed pharmacy (online or offline) that requires prescription verification, you may be able to get MESALMILE 1 delivered — provided the pharmacy complies fully with pharmacy laws.

  • Always ensure the pharmacy requests a valid prescription, displays their license information, and provides medicines in properly sealed, tamper-proof, and correctly labelled packaging.

  • Be cautious of online platforms that skip prescription verification or offer to sell prescription medicines without a valid prescription — such deliveries may be unlawful, risky, or involve counterfeit/substandard medicines.

Conclusion: yes — but with conditions

It is theoretically possible to get Mesalazine 1 g (MESALMILE 1) delivered at home in India — if the pharmacy is legitimate and all regulatory requirements (prescription verification, licensed pharmacist, lawful supply chain) are met. However, because of regulatory ambiguity around online medicine sales in many parts of India, individuals must exercise caution, verify credentials, and follow medical guidance.

MESALMILE 1 is a high-strength Mesalazine (1 g) formulation developed to support individuals living with chronic inflammatory bowel disorders such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and other conditions related to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Manufactured under stringent quality standards, MESALMILE 1 from Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. delivers reliable anti-inflammatory action to help patients achieve long-term symptom control.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a lifelong condition for many people in India. Frequent flare-ups, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel movements can disrupt daily living, limit productivity, and affect overall health. An effective and consistent treatment approach is essential — and Mesalazine (also known as 5-ASA) continues to be one of the most trusted therapeutic choices for physicians worldwide.

MESALMILE 1 provides a therapeutic 1 g dose of Mesalazine, designed for patients who require stronger and sustained anti-inflammatory effects. Its formulation helps reduce inflammation in the colon, promote healing of the intestinal lining, and prevent recurrence of symptoms. Whether being used for active disease management or for maintenance therapy, MESALMILE 1 offers dependable performance backed by the expertise of Steris Healthcare.

What is Mesalazine (1 g)?

Mesalazine (Mesalamine / 5-Aminosalicylic Acid) is a well-established anti-inflammatory medication widely prescribed across India and globally for the management of inflammatory bowel conditions. The drug works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals in the colon, thereby reducing swelling, irritation, and tissue damage.

The 1 g strength, like that found in MESALMILE 1, is preferred for:

  • Moderate-to-severe flare-ups

  • Patients requiring higher therapeutic doses

  • Long-term control in chronic ulcerative colitis

  • Prevention of disease recurrence

Mesalazine is considered safe for long-term use when taken under medical supervision, making it one of the first-line therapies for IBD management.

Key Features of MESALMILE 1

High-Strength 1 g Mesalazine for Effective Relief

The 1 g dose ensures deeper and more consistent anti-inflammatory action, suitable for individuals with active symptoms or those needing higher therapeutic coverage.

Helps Restore Intestinal Health

MESALMILE 1 supports the healing of the inner lining of the colon, helping reduce bleeding, mucus formation, and urgency.

Trusted Anti-Inflammatory Action

Mesalazine targets inflammation locally at the intestinal level, providing relief without affecting the entire body.

Suitable for Long-Term Management

Doctors often prescribe Mesalazine as a maintenance therapy to prevent the recurrence of symptoms.

Manufactured Under Steris Healthcare’s Quality Standards

MESALMILE 1 is produced using advanced pharmaceutical technologies that meet Indian and international safety standards.

Uses of MESALMILE 1 (Mesalazine 1 g)

MESALMILE 1 is primarily used to treat and manage:

1. Ulcerative Colitis

A chronic inflammatory condition affecting the colon and rectum. MESALMILE 1 helps:

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Control flare-ups

  • Minimise bleeding and diarrhoea

  • Promote mucosal healing

2. Crohn’s Disease (Mild to Moderate)

While Mesalazine is more commonly used in ulcerative colitis, it may also be recommended for specific forms of Crohn’s Disease, especially those limited to the colon.

5. Prevention of Post-Surgery Recurrence

Patients who have undergone intestinal surgery may benefit from mesalazine to reduce the risk of inflammation returning.

How Does MESALMILE 1 Work?

Mesalazine acts directly on the intestinal lining, reducing inflammation in four key ways:

1. Inhibits Pro-Inflammatory Chemicals

It blocks prostaglandins and leukotrienes that trigger inflammation in the colon.

2. Reduces Oxidative Stress

By neutralizing free radicals, Mesalazine prevents cellular damage within the intestinal walls.

3. Supports Tissue Healing

MESALMILE 1 helps repair the mucosal lining, promoting faster recovery from flare-ups.

4. Prevents Recurrence

Regular use helps maintain remission, keeping inflammation under control over time.

This localised effect ensures maximum benefit with minimal systemic side effects.
