CompositionPentasa 1g Granules 1gm is used in the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis and may be used in selected cases of Crohn's disease, and for maintaining remission in inflammatory bowel conditions. It contains mesalazine, an anti-inflammatory medicine that acts directly on the lining of the gut.
Mesalazine works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the colon and rectum, which helps control symptoms during a flare and, with regular use, helps maintain remission and prevent future flares of inflammatory bowel disease.
Take these granules exactly as your doctor prescribes, mixing them with water as directed on the sachet, and continue taking them regularly even when you are feeling well, since ongoing treatment helps maintain remission.
Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, or a known allergy to salicylates, as mesalazine needs caution in these situations. Report any unexplained bruising, bleeding, sore throat, or worsening of your bowel symptoms promptly.
