Pentasa contains mesalazine (also known as mesalamine), an anti-inflammatory medicine specifically designed to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. These are chronic conditions where parts of the digestive tract become inflamed, leading to uncomfortable and sometimes severe symptoms.

The medication works by targeting inflammation directly in the intestines, to reduce flare-ups and maintain remission. It doesn’t cure the disease but plays a key role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

The main benefits of Pentasa include:

• Reducing inflammation in the bowel

• Easing abdominal pain and cramping

• Decreasing diarrhea and rectal bleeding

• Supporting long-term remission in IBD

On our website, Pentasa is available in different formulations and dosages, including Pentasa 500 mg tablets, as well as Pentasa enema and suppositories.
