Overview
Mesacol 400mg Tablets (50 pack) contain mesalazine (mesalamine), a gut-targeted anti-inflammatory from Sun Pharma for ulcerative colitis and other inflammatory bowel disease. The delayed-release coating carries the medicine to the colon, where it calms the inflamed bowel lining. Easing diarrhoea, bleeding and urgency, and maintaining remission to prevent painful flare-ups. Unlike steroids, mesalazine is suitable for long-term maintenance, making Mesacol a mainstay for people living with colitis under specialist care.
Mesalazine (mesalamine) 400mg per delayed-release tablet.
