Usage

Mezavant is a prescription medication used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, proctitis and proctosigmoiditis. These are all disorders of the digestive tract. The active ingredient in Mesalamine is a 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). It works by affecting the substance that causes inflammation, tissue damage and diarrhea in the body. It also helps to prevent the symptoms of ulcerative colitis from recurring. Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease and symptoms may include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, frequent need to pass stools and weight loss. It is a very common condition, and many doctors recommend Mezavant for quick relief from the symptoms of the illness. Our customers may also order Elmiron Canada and other ulcerative colitis medications.
