Mesalacure 400mg Tablet 10 contains mesalazine (400 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Local Anti-Inflammatory Action: Mesalazine works directly in the colon to reduce inflammation by acting on the lining of your intestines.

• Prostaglandin Inhibition: It blocks certain enzymes in your body that produce prostaglandins, which are substances that cause inflammation and pain in the intestines.

• Leukotriene Suppression: Mesalazine reduces the production of leukotrienes, which are chemicals that trigger inflammatory responses in your digestive tract.

• Immune Cell Regulation: It helps decrease the movement of white blood cells (leukocytes) to inflamed areas of your intestine, which otherwise would worsen inflammation.

• Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Reduction: Mesalazine suppresses the release of cytokines, which are proteins that signal cells to increase inflammation in the bowel.

• Store at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging until you need to take it.

• Protect from moisture and excessive heat.

• Always keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Include omega-3-rich foods like fatty fish and flaxseeds in your diet, as they may help reduce inflammation in the bowel and complement the anti-inflammatory action of mesalazine.

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain proper hydration, which is especially important for people with ulcerative colitis to help prevent kidney stones and support overall digestive health.
