Mesaline 400 Tablet Dr 10 is taken orally.

Mesaline 400 Tablet Dr 10 contains mesalazine (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibition of Inflammatory Enzymes: Mesalazine blocks certain enzymes, called cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, which are involved in producing inflammatory substances in the body. This helps reduce inflammation in the colon.

• Free Radical Scavenging: This medicine neutralises harmful molecules called free radicals that can damage cells and contribute to inflammation in your digestive tract.

• Regulation of Inflammatory Mediators: Mesalazine interferes with the production of inflammatory substances such as cytokines and chemokines, which cause inflammation in ulcerative colitis.

• Local Action: It works primarily at the site of inflammation in the colon and rectum rather than affecting the entire body, which helps target the treatment where it's needed most.

• Store Mesaline 400 Tablet Dr 10 at room temperature (20°C-25°C). Temperature excursion is permitted from 15°C to 30°C.

• Keep away from light, moisture, and humidity.

• Do not store in bathroom cabinets where humidity may damage the delayed-release coating.

• Keep in original packaging until ready to use.

• Store out of reach of children.

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

• Limit high-fibre foods during flare-ups: During active ulcerative colitis episodes, reducing foods like raw vegetables, nuts, and whole grains may help ease abdominal pain and diarrhoea.

• Stay well-hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to replace fluids lost through diarrhoea and help maintain the protective mucus layer in your colon.
