Mesacol 800 Tablet DR

Overview of Mesacol 800 Tablet DR
Mesacol 800 Tablet DR is an anti-inflammatory medicine used to manage conditions affecting the bowel, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s ileocolitis. It helps ease symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and bloating by reducing inflammation in the intestines.

This medication should be taken with food, following the exact instructions provided by your doctor. The dosage and duration depend on your condition. Completing the full course is essential, as stopping treatment too early may lead to recurrence of symptoms or worsening of the disease.

Possible Effects
Some individuals may experience mild side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, flatulence, headaches, or skin irritation. These effects are usually temporary. If they persist or become severe, contact your healthcare provider for guidance. Rarely, serious allergic reactions may occur, such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, unusual bruising or bleeding, rashes, fever, or extreme fatigue. Seek urgent medical attention if these appear.

Before starting this treatment, tell your doctor about any liver or kidney issues, digestive blockages, age-related factors, and all other medications you are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using this medication.
