MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML

How MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML Works

• MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML belongs to a class of medications known as aminosalicylates. Its mechanism of action is specifically targeted at the inflamed areas within the lower sections of the large intestine, namely the colon and rectum. By directly acting on these sites of inflammation (swelling), MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML offers swift alleviation from the distressing episodes associated with ulcerative colitis.
• Ulcerative colitis is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the colon and rectum. MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML works by reducing this inflammation. The active ingredient in MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML interferes with the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers responsible for triggering and sustaining intestinal inflammation. By inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, the medication effectively diminishes inflammation, thereby lessening ulceration, bleeding, and the accompanying pain and discomfort.
• In simpler terms, MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML acts like a local anti-inflammatory agent, delivering its therapeutic effect directly to the affected area. This targeted approach minimizes systemic exposure and maximizes the drug's impact on the inflamed tissue. By suppressing the production of inflammatory substances, MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML helps to heal the ulcers, reduce bleeding, and alleviate the painful symptoms of ulcerative colitis, promoting a return to normal bowel function and improved quality of life for those suffering from this chronic condition.
• Furthermore, consistent and proper use of MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML, as directed by a healthcare professional, is crucial for achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes and managing ulcerative colitis effectively. This localized action makes it a valuable tool in the management of this condition.

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as your body adapts to the medication. However, if these effects persist or cause concern, it is important to seek medical advice.

• MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML is designed for rectal administration only. It should be carefully inserted into the rectum as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not ingest it orally, as it is not meant to be taken by mouth. The medication is specifically formulated for direct action in the lower digestive tract.
• Before initiating treatment with MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML, and periodically throughout your treatment, your doctor may conduct tests to monitor your kidney and liver function. This is to ensure the medication is not adversely affecting these organs. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems, especially if you have severely decreased kidney or liver function.
• Avoid using MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML if you have a known allergy to aspirin or if you have any underlying blood disorders. Aspirin allergies can sometimes cross-react with mesalamine, the active ingredient in MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML, and blood disorders could be exacerbated by this medication. Always disclose your full medical history to your doctor.
• It is important to adhere to your prescribed treatment plan and not discontinue the use of MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML abruptly without first consulting with your doctor. Suddenly stopping the medication can lead to a flare-up of your ulcerative colitis symptoms. Consult your physician for a proper tapering schedule if needed.
• For oral formulations, remember to take it with food. Do not break, chew, or crush the tablets or granules. Swallow them whole with plenty of water to ensure the medication is properly absorbed and released in the intestines. This helps prevent irritation of the stomach and ensures the medication reaches the affected areas of the colon.
• Avoid taking antacids concurrently with MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML, as antacids can interfere with the way the medication works and potentially worsen your inflammation. Antacids can alter the pH balance in your digestive system, which can affect the release and effectiveness of the mesalamine.
• MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML is an aminosalicylate. It works by reducing inflammation in the colon. Inflammation in the colon leads to symptoms of ulcerative colitis, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and rectal bleeding.
• Following the usage instructions given by your doctor is very important. Generally, it is administered once daily, preferably at bedtime, to allow for prolonged contact with the inflamed areas of the colon overnight. Use the enema exactly as prescribed.
• While using MESACOL ENEMA 60 ML, be mindful of potential side effects. Common side effects may include abdominal discomfort, nausea, headache, or flu-like symptoms. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.
