PainAnti-inflammatoryInflammationHeadache
Mesacol CR 500mg Tablet contains Mesalazine 500mg, an anti-inflammatory agent primarily used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Mesalazine acts locally on the colonic mucosa to reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The controlled-release formulation ensures gradual release of the active ingredient throughout the gastrointestinal tract, enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing systemic absorption and associated side effects.
