Pentasa 500Mg 50Tab

Pentasa is a medication used to treat inflammatory bowel disease, particularly ulcerative colitis. It belongs to a class of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It works by reducing inflammation in the intestines and improving symptoms associated with this condition.

Pentasa contains the active ingredient Mesalazine, which works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals in the intestines. This helps to reduce symptoms such as pain, diarrhea, and bleeding. Pentasa is also used to prevent flare-ups of ulcerative colitis, improving the quality of life for patients and reducing the need for stronger medications.
