Description

Rowasa 2g Pellets contain Mesalazine (Mesalamine), an anti-inflammatory medicine used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The higher strength (2gm) formulation is designed for patients requiring a stronger dose to manage active symptoms and maintain remission of intestinal inflammation.

Composition:

Mesalazine (2gm) – an aminosalicylate that targets the colon lining to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and prevent disease flare-ups.

Indications / Uses:
Rowasa 2g Pellets are prescribed for:

Ulcerative colitis (treatment of active disease and maintenance of remission)
Crohn’s disease (mild to moderate forms)
Reducing symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and urgency
Preventing recurrence of intestinal inflammation

How It Works:
Mesalazine works locally in the intestine by blocking the production of inflammatory mediators (like prostaglandins and leukotrienes). This reduces intestinal swelling, pain, and tissue damage, improving gut health and long-term disease management.

Dosage & Administration:

Dosage depends on the patient’s condition and doctor’s advice.
Taken orally with water, with or without food.
Swallow pellets whole – do not crush or chew.
Regular intake is necessary for both active treatment and long-term remission.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:

Abdominal pain, nausea, or diarrhea
Headache or dizziness
Rash or itching
Flatulence or indigestion
Rare but serious: pancreatitis, kidney problems, or blood disorders.

Precautions & Warnings:

Not suitable for patients with severe kidney or liver disease.
Use cautiously in patients with asthma, peptic ulcers, or blood abnormalities.
Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood tests is advised during prolonged use.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only if clearly prescribed by a doctor.
