Mesacol CR 1g Granules contain mesalazine (1000 mg), which works in several ways:

• Inflammatory Mediator Inhibition: Mesalazine helps inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes that contribute to inflammation.

• Free Radical Scavenging: The medicine scavenges free radicals and reactive oxygen species that contribute to oxidative stress and tissue damage in the intestines.

• Immune Cell Regulation: Mesalazine prevents the activation and proliferation of inflammatory immune cells, helping to reduce inflammation.

By acting through these mechanisms, mesalazine helps manage inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases and maintain remission of these conditions
