MESALMILE OD

MESALMILE OD is a prescription anti-inflammatory tablet for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Each tablet contains mesalamine 1200 mg in prolonged-release form. 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 large intestine becomes inflamed and develops small ulcers. This causes recurring diarrhoea, blood or mucus in the stool, urgency, cramps and tiredness. Mesalamine (also called mesalazine or 5-ASA) acts directly on the inflamed gut lining rather than mainly through the bloodstream. It reduces the inflammatory chemicals that drive tissue damage and helps calm the lining from the inside.

The tablet is built to release medicine gradually as it travels through the digestive tract. This is why a higher dose can be given once a day and still reach the colon, where ulcerative colitis is active, instead of being absorbed early.

Mesalamine does not cure ulcerative colitis. It controls inflammation, eases symptoms and lowers the chance of relapse.

Product Information at a Glance

Why Is Mesalamine Important?

Ulcerative colitis affects daily life far beyond the bathroom. Frequent flares can disrupt sleep, work, travel, exams and family time, and repeated untreated inflammation can damage the bowel over time. Mesalamine is important for these reasons.

1. First-line treatment. It is the standard starting therapy for mild to moderate ulcerative colitis in most guidelines.
2. Settles flares. It helps bring active inflammation under control, easing diarrhoea, bleeding and pain.
3. Prevents relapse. Regular use after remission reduces how often symptoms return.
4. Better adherence with once-daily dosing. Missed doses are a common reason for relapse. A single daily tablet is easier to remember than a multi-dose schedule, and it can fit better around work and study.
5. Fewer tablets for a high dose. Each tablet carries 1200 mg, so a full daily dose needs fewer pills than lower-strength mesalamine tablets.
6. Gut-targeted action. Its local effect generally makes it gentler than systemic immune-suppressing drugs for suitable patients.
7. Decades of clinical use. Its benefits and monitoring needs are well understood.
