Colasa 400mg Tablet - Mesalazine for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Colasa 400mg is a delayed-release mesalazine tablet manufactured by UniMed UniHealth Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Mesalazine, also called 5-aminosalicylic acid, acts locally in the bowel to reduce inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease.

What Colasa is used for

• Treatment of mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis.
• Treatment support for Crohn disease when prescribed.
• Maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease.

How it works

Mesalazine helps reduce inflammatory mediator production in the intestinal mucosa. It works mainly at the site of inflammation in the colon and bowel, helping control symptoms and maintain remission under medical supervision.

How to take Colasa

• Take exactly as prescribed by your gastroenterologist or physician.
• Swallow delayed-release tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Continue the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve.
• Regular follow-up may be needed for kidney, liver, and disease activity monitoring.

Who should be careful

• Patients with kidney disease, liver disease, pyloric stenosis, or history of salicylate allergy should consult a doctor before use.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should use mesalazine only when the expected benefit justifies the risk.
• Inform your doctor about all current medicines to avoid interaction risks.
