Rowasa 1gm Pellets

Product Overview
Rowasa 1gm Pellets is an anti-inflammatory medication primarily used to manage ulcerative colitis, a condition that causes inflammation in the bowel. By reducing inflammation, this treatment helps alleviate symptoms like diarrhea, bleeding, and abdominal pain.

This medication is also sometimes prescribed for Crohn’s ileocolitis, another type of inflammatory bowel disease. Rowasa Pellets should be taken with food, and the dosage depends on your specific condition. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and continue the treatment for the entire prescribed period to prevent symptom recurrence or worsening of your condition.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, itching, gas, and vomiting. If these symptoms persist or become troublesome, speak with your healthcare provider for advice on how to manage them. Severe allergic reactions, though rare, require immediate medical attention. Contact your doctor right away if you experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, unusual bleeding or bruising, rash, fever, sore throat, or extreme fatigue.

Precautions
Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, or if you suffer from intestinal blockage. Age may influence whether this medication is suitable for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Be sure to disclose all other medications you are currently taking, as some can interact with Rowasa Pellets.
