MESAGUT 800 DR – Mesalamine Delayed Release Tablets U.S.P

Mesagut 800 DR is an advanced therapeutic option for the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), marketed by DH. Mesalamine (5-ASA) acts locally on the intestinal lining to reduce the production of chemicals that cause inflammation.

It is clinically indicated for:

• Acute Ulcerative Colitis: Treatment of moderate episodes to reduce rectal bleeding and abdominal pain.

• Maintenance Therapy: Prevents the recurrence of ulcerative colitis symptoms once remission is achieved.

• Chronic Gut Protection: Helps heal the lining of the large intestine and reduces the risk of long-term tissue damage.

The 800 mg Delayed Release tablet is coated with a pH-sensitive polymer that resists stomach acid and only dissolves when it reaches the specific alkaline environment of the lower intestines, ensuring maximum drug concentration at the diseased area.

Key Benefits

• Reduced Flare-ups: Excellent for long-term maintenance of gut health and remission.
