Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Mesalazine is an aminosalicylate that acts locally in the colon to manage inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Ulcerative colitis: reduces mucosal inflammation and helps maintain remission.
  • Crohn's disease (colonic involvement): controls inflammation and alleviates symptoms.
  • Maintenance therapy in IBD: prolongs remission periods and decreases relapse frequency.
  • Induction of remission in ulcerative colitis: achieves clinical response within weeks of therapy.

How It Works

  • Mesalazine exerts its anti‑inflammatory effect by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways in the intestinal mucosa, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The reduced eicosanoid production limits neutrophil activation and cytokine release, thereby attenuating mucosal inflammation and promoting healing of the colon lining. Additionally, mesalazine scavenges free radicals and modulates NF‑κB signaling, further contributing to its therapeutic action and improving barrier function of the intestinal epithelium.

Side Effects

Mesalazine may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency.

Common Side Effects

  • Headache: mild to moderate headache reported.
  • Nausea: occasional feeling of nausea.
  • Abdominal pain: mild cramping or discomfort.
  • Flatulence: increased intestinal gas.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hypersensitivity: rash, fever, or anaphylaxis requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Blood dyscrasias: neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or agranulocytosis.
  • Kidney impairment: interstitial nephritis or renal function decline.

Precautions & Warnings

  • When prescribing Mesalazine, clinicians should consider several safety measures.
  • Dose adjustment: consider renal or hepatic impairment when prescribing.
  • Monitoring: regular blood counts and renal function tests are recommended.
  • Pregnancy: use only if potential benefit justifies risk, as safety data are limited.
  • Drug interactions: review concomitant medications for potential interactions.
  • Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to mesalazine or salicylates.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Mesalazine can interact with other medicines; awareness of interaction severity guides management.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Azathioprine: increased risk of bone marrow suppression.
  • Methotrexate: additive toxicity to liver and bone marrow.
  • Live vaccines: may reduce vaccine efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Warfarin: possible enhancement of anticoagulant effect.
  • Oral contraceptives: may reduce efficacy of contraceptive hormones.
  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): increased gastrointestinal irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mesalazine Mayoly is prescribed to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, specifically ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease that involve the colon. It helps reduce intestinal inflammation, control symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, and can be used both to induce remission and to maintain disease control over the long term.

Mesalazine works by blocking the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes in the gut lining, which lowers the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes—key mediators of inflammation. This reduction dampens immune cell activation, decreases cytokine release, and promotes healing of the colonic mucosa.

The exact dose of Mesalazine Mayoly is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s disease severity, location, previous response to therapy, and any renal or hepatic impairment. Dosage adjustments are made according to clinical response and laboratory monitoring, not by a fixed over‑the‑counter regimen.

Safety data for mesalazine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss the risks and alternatives with their physician.

To request Mesalazine Mayoly, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will ask for trade or institutional credentials. The sales team then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and assists with import documentation.

Mesalazine belongs to the aminosalicylate class, which acts locally in the colon, whereas biologics such as anti‑TNF agents work systemically to suppress immune pathways. Compared with corticosteroids, mesalazine has a more favorable safety profile for long‑term maintenance but may be less potent for rapid induction of remission in severe disease.

Mesalazine Mayoly should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not store in bathrooms or near heat sources.

Mesalazine Mayoly is taken orally, usually as a tablet, with or without food as directed by the prescriber. The tablets are swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients should follow the dosing schedule provided by their healthcare professional and not split or crush tablets unless instructed.

Serious risks include severe hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, fever, or anaphylaxis, blood disorders like neutropenia or agranulocytosis, and kidney problems such as interstitial nephritis. Any signs of these conditions require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of the drug.

Patients with a known hypersensitivity to mesalazine, other aminosalicylates, or salicylate‑containing drugs should avoid this medication. It is also contraindicated in individuals with severe renal impairment where the drug cannot be safely cleared, and in those who have experienced previous severe adverse reactions to the product.
