Usage

Lialda is a prescription medication for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), such as ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease, proctitis, proctosigmoiditis, and also to prevent the symptoms of ulcerative colitis from recurring (source). Mesalazine is 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), also an anti-inflammatory drug. It works by targeting specific substances to reduce inflammation and other symptoms of the disease. This helps to alleviate the symptoms of IBD, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool, and urgency to have a bowel movement (source).

It is crucial to take this medication exactly as your doctor prescribes and refer to the package insert. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.
