Mesagut 400 Tablet

✔️ How Mesagut Works

Mesalazine acts primarily on the intestinal lining, where it helps reduce inflammation. It affects inflammatory pathways involved in the production of prostaglandins and other inflammatory substances, helping relieve inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

✔️ Side Effects:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Dizziness
• Indigestion
• Weakness or fatigue
• Itching or skin reactions

✔️ How to Take Mesagut

• Take Mesagut exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Follow the product-specific instructions regarding food and administration.
• Swallow tablets as directed for the particular formulation; do not crush or chew modified-release products unless the product information explicitly allows it.
• If using prolonged-release granules, follow the package instructions. Some formulations must not be chewed.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: Mesagut should be used during pregnancy only after a doctor has assessed the potential benefits and risks.

Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use. The decision depends on the clinical need and the potential risks to the infant.

✔️ Inform your doctor about all medicines you take, particularly:

NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, which may increase concern about kidney-related adverse effects when used with mesalazine.

Azathioprine, which may increase the risk of certain blood-related adverse effects and requires appropriate monitoring.

Do not start or stop other medicines without consulting your healthcare professional.

✔️ Contraindications

Mesagut should not be used by people with a known hypersensitivity to mesalazine, salicylates, or any component of the prescribed formulation. Check the product-specific prescribing information for any additional contraindications.

✔️ Safety Information:

• Kidney problems: Mesalazine may cause kidney-related adverse effects. Kidney function should be assessed before treatment and monitored periodically.
• Liver disease: Use cautiously if you have liver impairment or a history of liver disease.
• Blood disorders: Your doctor may recommend blood tests during treatment, especially in older adults or when clinically indicated.
• Pyloric stenosis: This condition may delay the passage of certain delayed-release tablets through the stomach.
• Allergies: Tell your doctor if you have previously experienced an allergic reaction to mesalazine, salicylates, or related medicines.
