Mesalamine DR
Generic alternative to Lialda
Mesalamine DR (Delayed Release) is a medication primarily used in the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease. It belongs to a class of drugs known as aminosalicylates, which work by decreasing inflammation in the colon.
How is this medication used?
Mesalamine DR should be taken orally with a glass of water, usually once daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to swallow the tablets whole and not to crush, chew, or break them, to ensure the medication is released in the colon where its effect is needed.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Mesalamine DR may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and gas. Although rare, it can also cause serious side effects such as kidney problems, severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and allergic reactions.
What are the potential interactions?
Mesalamine DR can interact with other medications including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and antibiotics. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
