Mesahenz 1200 Tablet contains mesalazine (1200 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibition of Inflammatory Mediators: Mesalazine works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes in the lining of the gut. This action helps in reducing inflammation in the bowel.

• Antioxidant Activity: Apart from reducing inflammation, mesalazine also acts as an antioxidant. It helps in scavenging harmful free radicals that contribute to inflammation and tissue damage in the colon.

• Keep Mesahenz 1200 Tablet at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius.

• Store in a dry place, protected from light and moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is not exposed to excessive heat or cold.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to check the expiry date printed on the pack and use the medicine before this date.

• If you're managing ulcerative colitis with Mesahenz 1200 Tablet, try incorporating a high-fibre diet, which may help reduce inflammation in your colon. However, during flare-ups, you may need to limit fibre as it could worsen symptoms.

• Staying well-hydrated is crucial, especially if you're experiencing diarrhoea. Drinking plenty of fluids can help prevent dehydration and kidney stones, a possible side effect of mesalazine.
