What is Mesalazine (Mesalamine)?

Mesalazine (also known as mesalamine or 5-ASA) is a locally acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) specifically formulated for use in bowel-related inflammation. It acts on the lining of the colon to reduce inflammation, pain, rectal bleeding, and other symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis.

Uses of MESALMILE 2 (Mesalazine 2g Sachet)

MESALMILE 2 is recommended for:

  • Mild to moderate ulcerative colitis

  • Active phase and maintenance of remission

  • Crohn’s colitis

  • Proctitis and proctosigmoiditis

  • Pouchitis following intestinal surgery in IBD

  • IBD flare-ups with moderate to severe symptoms

How MESALMILE 2 Works

Mesalazine exerts topical anti-inflammatory action on the intestinal lining. It inhibits cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes, leading to reduced synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are responsible for bowel inflammation.

The sachet formulation ensures:

  • Targeted delivery to the colon

  • Uniform distribution of the drug throughout the gastrointestinal tract

  • High-dose therapy for acute disease management

Dosage and Administration

  • Adults: 1 sachet (2g) once or twice daily, or as directed by the physician.

  • Pour the contents of the sachet into a glass of water or soft food (e.g., yogurt), stir and consume immediately.

  • Do not chew or crush the granules.

Always follow your doctor's instructions for dosage and treatment duration.
