Mesazed 800 Tablet 10 contains mesalamine (800 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Prostaglandin inhibition: Mesalamine works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in your body that cause inflammation in the gut lining.

• Leukotriene reduction: It decreases the production of leukotrienes, another group of inflammatory substances contributing to intestinal inflammation.

• Antioxidant action: Mesalamine is a potent antioxidant that neutralises harmful free radicals that can damage intestinal tissue.

• Local anti-inflammatory effect: The medicine works topically at the site of inflammation in your colon, reducing swelling, bleeding, and ulceration in the affected areas.

• pH-sensitive delivery: The tablet's special coating ensures the medicine is released specifically into the inflamed areas of your intestines.

• Store Mesazed 800 Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place at room temperature (20-25°C).

• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Do not store in the bathroom or kitchen where humidity levels fluctuate.

• Keep out of sight and reach of children.

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

• Low-residue diet during flares: When experiencing symptoms of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's ileocolitis, try eating low-fibre foods like white bread, white rice, and well-cooked vegetables without skin to reduce bowel irritation.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day as diarrhoea from inflammatory bowel disease can lead to dehydration, which may worsen your symptoms.
