Mesalamine Micro-Pellets |
| |
Description:
 Mesalamine is a drug used for treating ulcerative colitis. Although the exact mechanism of mesalamine is not known it is believed to be reducing the inflammation in the colon through systemic action. Ulcerative colitis and other inflammatory diseases cause excessive production of bio-chemicals, for example, prostaglandins, that produce inflammation in the colon. Prostaglandins are produced by the enzymes, cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase. These enzymes are over-active in individuals with ulcerative colitis. Mesalamine may work by blocking the activity of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, thereby, reducing the production of prostaglandins. Reduced production of prostaglandins decreases inflammation in the colon and the symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis. Available forms of mesalamine differ in their route of administration and how often they are administered. |
