Mesazed 400 DR tablets are an anti-inflammatory medication indicated for ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease. This medication alleviates symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and diarrhea by targeting bowel inflammation. Mesazed 400 DR tablets may also be prescribed for Crohn's ileocolitis. Always take this medication with food, following your doctor's precise dosage instructions, as this varies depending on the condition being treated. Continue the prescribed regimen as directed by your physician; premature discontinuation can lead to symptom recurrence and disease exacerbation. Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, itching, gas, and vomiting. Report any persistent, worsening, or bothersome side effects to your doctor; management options may be available. Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience a severe allergic reaction, indicated by facial, tongue, throat, or lip swelling; unusual bleeding or bruising; rash; fever; sore throat; or excessive fatigue. Prior to initiating treatment, inform your physician of any kidney or liver conditions, gastric obstructions, and your age.
