Uses of Mesalo Enema

Benefits of Mesalo Enema

Ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum. Mesalo Foam helps reduce the inflammation in the intestinal lining by targeting the disease locally. Reduction in inflammation promotes mucosal healing and causes symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding to subside.

Crohn’s disease
Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive tract, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Mesalo Foam is used in mild to moderate cases to reduce inflammation and manage flare-ups. It can help prevent disease progression, reduce the need for steroids, and support intestinal health over time.

Side effects of Mesalo Enema

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Mesalo Enema

How Mesalo Enema works

Mesalo Foam is an aminosalicylate. It works directly on the site of inflammation (swelling) in the lower parts of the large intestine (colon and rectum) to provide rapid relief from attacks of ulcerative colitis. It suppresses the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause intestinal inflammation, thereby reducing ulceration, bleeding, and painful symptoms.
