For disorders like ulcerative colitis, mesalamine (Mosart-OD) is typically administered over an extended period of time to maintain remission and avoid flare-ups. Your doctor should determine the precise length of time based on your symptoms and any subsequent testing or colonoscopies.

In cases of ulcerative colitis, daily bleeding indicates an active illness and may be a flare-up that needs immediate medical intervention. To modify treatment, which may involve drugs like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologics, get in touch with your gastroenterologist as away.
