Mesacol Tablet DR is an anti-inflammatory medication prescribed for treating ulcerative colitis, a chronic bowel disease. It alleviates symptoms like diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal discomfort by reducing intestinal inflammation.

This medication may also be prescribed for Crohn’s ileocolitis. Take it with meals as directed by your physician. The dosage varies depending on your condition – always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Continue treatment for the full prescribed duration, as premature discontinuation may cause symptom recurrence or disease progression.

Common adverse effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, itching, gas, vomiting, dizziness, and musculoskeletal pain. Consult your doctor if these persist or worsen. Serious allergic reactions requiring immediate medical attention may manifest as facial swelling, tongue/throat inflammation, unusual bleeding, bruising, skin rash, fever, or extreme fatigue.

Prior to use, disclose any kidney/liver impairment or gastric obstruction. Age may influence treatment suitability. Pregnant or nursing women should seek medical advice before use. Inform your physician about all concurrent medications due to potential interactions.
