Pentasa is a medication that contains the active ingredient mesalazine, which belongs to a group of medicines called aminosalicylates. Mesalazine works by reducing inflammation in the digestive tract, particularly in conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Pentasa is suitable for individuals who need treatment for mild to moderate inflammatory bowel disease, helping to alleviate symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding.
About Pentasa
Dosage and usage
You should take Pentasa exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical starting dose is usually 1g to 3g daily, divided into several smaller doses. Your doctor will determine the most suitable dose for you based on your condition. It's essential to swallow the tablets whole with a sufficient amount of water, without crushing or chewing them. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions carefully, and do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
What Pentasa contains
Each Pentasa tablet contains 500mg of mesalazine as the active ingredient. The tablets also include excipients such as ethylcellulose, povidone, talc, and magnesium stearate. These components help in the formulation and effectiveness of the medication.
Side effects
Common side effects of Pentasa may include nausea, headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea. In some cases, serious side effects like severe allergic reactions or worsening of colitis symptoms may occur. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhoea, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
Precautions
It's important to note that Pentasa is not suitable for everyone. You should not use Pentasa if you are allergic to mesalazine or any other ingredients in the tablets. Additionally, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, or any other medical conditions before starting Pentasa. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication. If you have a history of heart conditions or are taking blood thinners, discuss the risks and benefits of Pentasa with your doctor to ensure safe usage.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.
Medication at a good price, quickly and securely delivered. Sensible but non intrusive questionnaire, and reassuring reviews.Will happily use Doctoronline again.
