About Mesacol Enema
Mesacol Enema is used to treat ulcerative colitis and ulcerative proctitis. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation of the large intestine lining (colon). Ulcerative proctitis is a condition in which ulcerative colitis solely affects the rear channel (rectum).
Mesacol Enema contains Mesalamine, which works by preventing the synthesis of chemical messengers such as prostaglandins in the intestines that produce inflammation (swelling).
Sometimes, you may experience diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache or nausea. Most of these side effects of Mesacol Enema do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication. Mesacol Enema is for rectal use only. It is advised to wash your hands before and after applying the medicament. Ensure the rectal area is clean and dry before application.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any components present in Mesacol Enema. Mesacol Enema should be used with caution in the elderly. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Mesacol Enema. Avoid taking Mesacol Enema if you have severe kidney failure. If you have stomach pain, cramps, severe headache, fever or rash, after taking Mesacol Enema, stop taking it immediately and consult a doctor.
