About Mesacol Suppository
Mesacol Suppository belongs to a class of anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat ulcerative colitis and ulcerative proctitis. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation of the large intestine lining (colon). It produces ulcers on the colon's lining, which may cause bleeding and discharge of pus and mucus. Ulcerative proctitis is a condition in which ulcerative colitis solely affects the rear channel (rectum).
Mesacol Suppository contains Mesalamine, which works by preventing the synthesis of chemical messengers such as prostaglandins in the intestines that produce inflammation (swelling). This lowers ulceration, bleeding, and stomach pain while preventing future illness flare-ups.
Use Mesacol Suppository as directed by your physician. Sometimes, you may experience diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache or nausea. Most of these side effects of Mesacol Suppository do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Before taking the Mesacol Suppository, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. And also, inform your doctor if you have severe kidney or liver failure or blood abnormalities like porphyria. Mesacol Suppository should not be used in pregnant and breastfeeding mothers unless necessary. So, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and potential risks before prescribing Mesacol Suppository.
