Description
Pentasa Tablets 500mg belong to a special group of medicines called 5-ASA drugs. The main ingredient is Mesalazine, which fights inflammation inside your intestines. Each pack contains 100 tablets that slowly release the medicine over time.
Pentasa works by calming down the swelling and redness in your intestinal walls. When your intestines are inflamed, they cause pain, diarrhea, and bleeding. Pentasa helps reduce these problems and makes your intestines healthy again.

What Does Pentasa Treat?
Doctors prescribe Pentasa for two main bowel conditions:
Ulcerative Colitis: Your large intestine gets inflamed and forms sores. You have bloody diarrhea, cramps, and feel exhausted. Some people lose weight because eating hurts.
Crohn’s Disease: Â This happens anywhere in your digestive tract. It causes pain and swelling. Makes it hard to digest food properly.
Pentasa helps you feel better when symptoms flare up. It also keeps the disease under control. Many patients eat better and have more energy after treatment starts.
How Should You Take Pentasa Tablets?
Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Here are important tips:
Swallow tablets whole: Do not break, chew, or crush them. The special coating helps the medicine reach your intestines properly.
Take with food: Best to take during or after meals to prevent stomach upset.
Drink water: Swallow with a full glass of water.
Same time daily: Take at the same time each day for best results.
Treatment length: You may need Pentasa for 3 to 6 months or longer. Do not stop without asking your doctor.

Safety Tips
Tell your doctor about any allergies before starting Pentasa. Especially if you react badly to aspirin. Mention kidney or liver problems, too.
Pentasa makes your skin burn more easily in the sun. Use sunscreen and cover up when you’re outside.
Skip alcohol while taking this medicine. It makes side effects worse.
Your doctor will check your blood sometimes. This keeps track of how your body is doing. If you’re also taking cholesterol medicine like Questran 4g Sachet, make sure to take them at different times since they can affect each other’s absorption.
For Pregnant and Nursing Mothers
Pentasa is usually okay during pregnancy. But you must talk to your doctor first. They’ll help you decide what’s best for you and your baby. If you have other conditions like thyroid problems, your doctor might also prescribe Eltroxin 100mcg alongside your treatment.
If you’re breastfeeding, the medicine gets into your milk. Your doctor needs to know this. They’ll watch your baby for any reactions.
What If You Miss a Dose?
If you forget to take your tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Never take two tablets together to make up for a forgotten dose.
