Asacol 800mg Gastro-Rezistant

Mesalamine, also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), is a medication used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. It works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the intestines, thereby relieving symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Mesalamine is available in various formulations, including oral tablets, capsules, suppositories, and enemas, allowing for targeted delivery to different segments of the gastrointestinal tract.

One of the primary benefits of mesalamine is its ability to induce and maintain remission in individuals with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, reducing the frequency and severity of disease flare-ups. By inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory substances and promoting tissue healing, mesalamine helps restore normal bowel function and improve quality of life for patients with IBD. Additionally, mesalamine is generally well-tolerated with minimal systemic side effects, making it suitable for long-term use in the management of chronic inflammatory conditions.
