Mesahenz 400 MG Description
Mesahenz Tablet is a prescription medicine that is used for the treatment of mild to moderate Ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflam
mation of the large intestine lining (colon) and produces ulcers on the colon's lining, which may cause bleeding and discharge of pus and mucus. Mesahenz Tablet can also be used to treat other types of inflammatory bowel disease. Mesahenz Tablet is composed of the single active ingredient Mesalazine / Mesalamine / 5-Aminosalicylic Acid. Mesalazine (also called mesalamine or 5-Aminosalicylic Acid) works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical substances that cause pain and swelling. Thus, it reduces inflammation (swelling) in the intestines and provides relief from symptoms such as stomach pain or bleeding. The Mesahenz Tablet is to be taken exactly as suggested by the physician. The medicine should not be taken in more than prescribed amounts. It is necessary to complete the full course of treatment. The medicine should not be stopped suddenly without consulting the doctor.
