Mesacol 4Gm Enema 60ml

Mesacol Enema is an anti-inflammatory medication specifically designed to treat ulcerative colitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the inner lining of the rectum and colon. This enema works effectively to alleviate symptoms such as diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal discomfort by targeting and reducing inflammation in the affected areas of the bowel. It is essential that this medication be administered rectally and not taken orally, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Following the administration, patients are advised to remain in a lying position for at least 15 minutes to ensure optimal absorption. The dosage of Mesacol Enema will vary based on the individual’s specific condition and should be adhered to as prescribed by a physician. Early discontinuation of the treatment may lead to a recurrence of symptoms or worsening of the condition. Common side effects may include rectal discomfort, rash, itching and fever. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider. Prior to starting treatment, patients should inform their doctor about any kidney or liver issues, gastrointestinal obstructions and any other medications they are currently taking to prevent potential interactions.
