Here are some frequently asked questions about MESAHENZ 800 MG TABLET:
What is MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet used for?
MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet is used to treat and prevent flare-ups of inflammatory bowel diseases, specifically mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis and Crohn's ileocolitis. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum, while Crohn's ileocolitis affects the small intestine and colon.
How does MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet work?
MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet, with its active ingredient mesalazine, works as an anti-inflammatory agent. Its exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is believed to act locally on the lining of the intestines. It reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of certain inflammatory chemicals like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, modulating the immune response, and functioning as an antioxidant.
What is the usual dosage for MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet?
The dosage of MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet depends on the specific condition being treated (active disease or maintenance of remission) and individual patient needs, and should always be determined by your doctor. For active ulcerative colitis, oral dosages can range from 2.4 grams to 4.8 grams per day, often taken in divided doses or once daily. For preventing flare-ups (maintenance of remission), typical doses might be 1.2 grams to 2.4 grams daily, or up to 4.8 grams daily in divided doses. It is important to swallow the tablets whole and not to chew, crush, or break them.
What are the possible side effects of MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet?
Common side effects can include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, gas, indigestion, muscle or joint pain, and back pain. More serious, but rare, side effects may involve kidney problems (including kidney stones), liver issues, inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, blood disorders, and allergic reactions. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
Is MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Mesalazine is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It is important to maintain good control of your inflammatory bowel disease throughout pregnancy. Small amounts of mesalazine may pass into breast milk; however, this typically does not cause problems for the infant, though monitoring the baby for diarrhea is recommended. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Can MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet be taken with other medications?
MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet can interact with certain other medications. It is important to inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Medications that affect kidney function, such as azathioprine, mercaptopurine, thioguanine, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin or ibuprofen, may increase the risk of side effects when taken with mesalazine. Blood thinners like warfarin may also interact. Antacids can also affect the absorption of certain mesalazine formulations.
What precautions should be taken while taking MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet?
Before taking MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet, tell your doctor if you have allergies to mesalazine, salicylates (like aspirin), or sulfasalazine, or if you have a history of kidney, liver, lung (e.g., asthma), or heart problems. Your doctor will likely perform regular blood and urine tests to monitor your kidney, liver, and blood function during treatment. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids to help prevent kidney stones. Avoid prolonged or unnecessary exposure to sunlight, as mesalazine can increase skin sensitivity.
What happens if a dose of MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet is missed?
If you miss a dose of MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
How should MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet be stored?
MESAHENZ 800 MG Tablet should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is typically below 25°C or between 20-25°C (68-77°F). Keep the containers tightly closed and out of the sight and reach of children.
