Mesacol is a salicylate medication. It is used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease). This medication helps relieve symptoms correlated with inflammatory bowel disease like diarrhoea, bleeding, and stomach pain.
Mesacol lessens the release of prostaglandins ( chemical mediators responsible) by obstructing the action of the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase paths. Thus it reduces inflammation and the symptoms related to the disease.
Ulcerative colitis is a condition associated with the large intestine and rectum where there will be redness and swelling in the bowel lining. This results in further complications like bleeding, pain in the abdomen, and diarrhoea. Along with medication, follow healthy lifestyle habits like drink plenty of water, and perform exercise daily.
Crohn's disease is a severe inflammatory disorder of the intestines. You may experience diarrhoea and abdominal pain. This medication helps to relieve the symptoms associated with crohn's disease.
This medication's most common side effects are flatulence, headache, itching, diarrhoea, itching, nausea, joint pain, muscle pain, and vomiting. Immediately inform your doctor if you experience any allergic effects like facial swelling, tongue, throat, lips, fever, or weakness.
