Mesacol Suppository contains mesalazine (500 mg) which works on your body as follows:

• Topical Action: Unlike many medications that work systemically, mesalazine works primarily on the inflamed tissue in your intestines.

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Mesalazine helps reduce inflammation by blocking the production of certain chemicals in your body that cause inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

By acting directly at the site of inflammation and reducing it, Mesacol Suppository aids in managing symptoms of ulcerative proctitis effectively.

• Protect from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

• Do remember to use it before the expiry date marked on the product.

• A high-fibre diet can help manage symptoms of ulcerative proctitis. Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes in your meals.

• Exercising regularly will also help. Low-intensity workouts like walking or yoga can reduce inflammation and boost your mood. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
