Mesazed 1200mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Mesazed 1200mg Tablet PR is a medicine used to treat ulcerative colitis, a condition that causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the large intestine. It helps reduce inflammation and prevent flare-ups, improving comfort and digestive health. The active ingredient, mesalazine (also called mesalamine or 5-Aminosalicylic Acid), works directly in the intestines to control the symptoms of ulcerative colitis.
Mesazed 1200mg Tablet PR helps stop the body from producing substances that trigger inflammation in the intestines. By controlling inflammation, it can relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood in the stool. Regular use can also help maintain remission and prevent the disease from worsening over time.
You should take Mesazed 1200mg Tablet PR only as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and treatment duration will depend on the severity of your condition and your overall health. Do not adjust the dose or stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as this may cause a flare-up of symptoms.
This medicine is generally not recommended for children under 6 years of age. Adults and older children should follow their doctor’s instructions carefully, and regular check-ups may be required to monitor the progress of treatment. Taking the medicine at the same time each day can help maintain consistent levels in the body for the best results.
Common side effects may include mild stomach upset, nausea, headache, or diarrhea. Not everyone experiences these effects, and most are temporary. If you notice persistent or severe side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and following your doctor’s advice can help support the effectiveness of Mesazed 1200mg Tablet PR in managing ulcerative colitis.
