Medasa Granules 2gm contains mesalazine (2 gm), which works on the body as follows:

• Anti-inflammatory action: Mesalazine inhibits the production of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins and leukotrienes in the intestinal lining, helping to reduce inflammation locally in the bowel.
• Antioxidant effect: It acts as an antioxidant by scavenging harmful free radicals that contribute to inflammation and tissue damage in the intestines.
• Local activity: Mesalazine works directly on the inflamed areas of the colon and rectum, providing targeted relief rather than affecting the entire body.
• Prostaglandin inhibition: It specifically blocks cyclooxygenase enzymes that produce prostaglandins, which are key mediators of the inflammatory response in ulcerative colitis.

• Store below 25°C in a dry place.
• Keep the sachets protected from direct light.
• Ensure the packaging remains sealed until use.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the sachet or packaging.

• Consider keeping a food diary to identify specific items that might trigger your inflammatory bowel symptoms, as individual triggers can vary significantly between people.
• Try a low-fibre diet during ulcerative colitis flare-ups to reduce irritation to your inflamed intestines. This means avoiding high-fibre foods like nuts, seeds, and raw vegetables temporarily.
