MESALMILE 2

MESALMILE 2 is a prescription medicine for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Each sachet contains mesalazine 2 g as prolonged-release granules. Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., a WHO-GMP and ISO 9001-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, makes and markets it.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-term condition in which the lining of the colon and rectum becomes inflamed and develops sores. It causes recurrent diarrhoea, blood or mucus in the stool, urgency and abdominal cramps. Mesalazine works locally on the gut lining. It reduces the production of inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and it also acts as an antioxidant in the inflamed tissue. Because the granules are designed to release the medicine gradually as they travel through the intestine, more of the drug reaches the diseased colon rather than being absorbed early.

Mesalazine does not cure ulcerative colitis. It controls inflammation, eases symptoms and helps prevent relapses.

Product Information 

Why Is Mesalazine Important?

Ulcerative colitis can seriously affect work, sleep, travel and social life. Left uncontrolled, repeated inflammation can damage the colon over time. Mesalazine is a first-line treatment for mild to moderate disease, for these reasons.

1. First-line standard of care. It is widely recommended as the starting treatment for mild to moderate UC.
2. Controls flares. It helps bring active inflammation under control and reduces diarrhoea, bleeding and cramps.
3. Prevents relapse. Taking it regularly after remission lowers the chance of another flare.
4. Targets the gut. Its local action means it is generally better tolerated than systemic immune-suppressing drugs.
5. Convenient granule form. A sachet gives a high dose in one administration, which makes once-daily dosing practical and may help patients stay on their treatment.
6. Long clinical track record. It has been used for decades, so its benefits and monitoring needs are well understood.

Uses of MESALMILE 2 

• Induction of remission in mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis
• Maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis, to reduce the risk of relapse
• Used by gastroenterologists in selected patients as part of an overall IBD management plan

Key Benefits 

• Reduces gut inflammation. It acts directly on the inflamed lining of the intestine.
• Eases symptoms. Diarrhoea, rectal bleeding, urgency and abdominal pain usually improve as the flare settles.
• Helps keep you in remission. Regular maintenance dosing reduces relapse risk.
• Simple dosing. A single sachet can deliver the full prescribed dose, and some patients can take it once daily.
• Easier than many tablets. The granule form suits people who find large or numerous tablets hard to swallow.
• Well-established safety profile. It is generally well tolerated over long-term use with routine monitoring.
• Manufactured to quality standards. Steris Healthcare operates a WHO-GMP and ISO 9001 certified facility, with quality checks at each stage.

Precautions and Warnings

• You are allergic to mesalazine, other salicylates (such as aspirin) or any ingredient in the sachet.
• You have severe kidney or liver impairment.
• You have an active stomach or duodenal ulcer, or a serious bleeding tendency.

Tell your doctor before starting if you have:

• Kidney problems. Mesalazine can, rarely, affect the kidneys, so kidney function is checked before and during treatment.
• Liver problems.
• Asthma or lung disease.
• A history of heart inflammation (myocarditis or pericarditis).
• Blood disorders, or unexplained bruising or infections.
• Pyloric stenosis or other conditions that slow stomach emptying, because the release of the medicine may be affected.
