MESACOL 1GM SUPPOSITORY 5'S

How MESACOL 1GM SUPPOSITORY 5'S Works

• MESACOL 1GM SUPPOSITORY 5'S belongs to a class of medications known as aminosalicylates. It functions by targeting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers responsible for triggering inflammation within the intestines. By inhibiting the synthesis of these prostaglandins, the medication effectively reduces the inflammatory response.
• This action leads to a decrease in ulceration and bleeding in the intestinal lining, providing relief from associated stomach pain. Furthermore, MESACOL 1GM SUPPOSITORY 5'S plays a crucial role in preventing future flare-ups of the disease by maintaining a controlled inflammatory environment within the intestines. Its mechanism of action focuses on modulating the inflammatory pathways to promote healing and prevent recurrence of symptoms.
• Specifically, MESACOL 1GM SUPPOSITORY 5'S acts locally in the colon to reduce inflammation. It is thought that mesalazine blocks cyclooxygenase and thus inhibits prostaglandin production in the colon. It may also inhibit the migration of inflammatory cells into the area. By reducing inflammation, it allows the bowel to heal.
