Precautions while taking Mesalazine (Salofalk)

1. Take the medicine correctly

(1) Swallow the tablet as a whole: Never chew or crush the tablet, otherwise it will destroy the enteric coating and cause the drug to be released prematurely in the stomach, which will not only irritate the stomach but also prevent the drug from reaching intestinal lesions.

(2) Take it with enough water to ensure that the tablets enter the gastrointestinal tract smoothly.

(3) Take before meals: In order to reduce the impact of food, it should be taken at least 1 hour before meals to facilitate rapid gastric emptying and deliver the tablets to the intestines.

2. Dosage and treatment compliance

(1) Strictly follow the doctor's instructions: Take the dose and daily frequency prescribed by the doctor. The dose in the acute phase and the maintenance phase are different and cannot be adjusted by yourself.

(2) Complete the acute phase treatment course: The acute attack phase usually requires continuous medication for up to 8 weeks. Even if symptoms improve, medication should not be stopped at will.

Precautions after taking Mesalazine (Salofalk)

1. Adherence to maintenance treatment and follow-up examination

(1) Do not stop the medication on your own: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic disease, and maintenance treatment during the remission period is to prevent recurrence. Unauthorized withdrawal of medication is the main risk factor for recurrence.

(2) Regular follow-up visits: Even if you feel well, you need to return to the specialist clinic regularly for the doctor to evaluate the disease activity and adjust the maintenance dose according to the situation.

2. Indications for drug discontinuation and medical treatment

If the original symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood in the stool worsen, and any of the aforementioned serious adverse reaction warning signs appear, it means that medical treatment is required to evaluate whether to adjust the regimen or discontinue the drug.
