Mesacol OD for oral administration is an extended-release formulation of mesalamine, an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory agent for gastrointestinal use. Each tablet contains 1200 mg of mesalamine. It is prescribed to treat mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis (a condition that causes inflammation and ulcers in the linings of your large intestines) and to maintain the remission of ulcerative colitis. This can lead to frequent diarrhoea, bleeding and abdominal pain. Mesalamine stops the function of certain substances that may cause inflammation; it suppresses the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation in the intestines. This reduces ulcers, bleeding and stomach pain and prevents future disease flare-ups.
It should only be used after consulting a doctor in doses and duration as prescribed by your doctor.
— Mesacol OD tablets are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to salicylates or any of the components of the medicine.
— It is not recommended for use in children below six years old.
— Avoid consuming alcohol during the treatment.
— Mesocol OD should be used cautiously among patients with heart inflammation. Consult your doctor before taking medicine.
— Before taking Mesacol OD, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney problems or a blockage in your stomach. Your age may also be a factor in deciding whether this medicine is suitable or not. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their women before taking this medicine. Inform your doctor about all the medications you have been using, as some may affect or may be affected by this medicine.
Before taking this anti-inflammatory drug, inform your doctor if you have:
— Narrowing or blockage of the gut

The most common side effects of Mesocol OD include stomach pain, headache, flatulence, itching, dizziness, joint pain, muscle pain, and diarrhoea. The side effects may subside by themselves. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these symptoms bother you or become troublesome or do not resolve or worsen. There may be several ways to reduce or prevent them. Some people get severe allergic reactions that need urgent medical help. Speak to your doctor immediately if you develop symptoms like unusual bleeding, swelling of the face/throat/tongue/lips, bruising throat, sore throat, or excessive tiredness.
Swallow the medicine whole with a sip of water. Take Mesacol OD with food. The dose usually depends on the condition of the patient. Your doctor will decide the right dose for you. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. Sudden treatment discontinuation or stopping treatment too early may cause your symptoms to return. You need to take this medicine regularly to get the most out of it. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids while taking it to stay hydrated, especially if you have severe or prolonged episodes of vomiting or diarrhoea.
