Mezera Information

Mezera at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of the brand-name Mezera is Avir Pharma Inc. In Canada, it is a prominent choice for patients who require targeted mesalamine delivery.

The generic mesalazine is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Mezera is available in several specialized forms to ensure the medicine reaches the site of inflammation:
• Rectal foam enema: 1gm/ actuation
• Tablet: 500 mg oral tablet

The dosage depends on the severity of the condition and the form used.

Usage:

Mezera is used to treat and manage ulcerative colitis, specifically to induce remission in mild- to-moderate cases. It is also used to treat proctitis (inflammation of the rectum) and sigmoiditis (inflammation of the lower colon). By delivering medication directly to the affected area, Mezera helps reduce symptoms such as rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, and frequent diarrhea.

Mechanism of Action
Mesalazine, the active ingredient in Mezera, works as a localized anti-inflammatory "coating" for the intestines. Mesalazine, also known as mesalamine, belongs to a class of medications known as 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA). Unlike most pills that work through the bloodstream, mesalamine works by coming into direct contact with the inflamed lining of the bowel. It stops the production of certain natural chemicals (prostaglandins) that the body produces in response to injury or disease. These chemicals are responsible for the swelling, pain, and tissue damage seen in ulcerative colitis. By neutralizing these inflammatory triggers, the medication allows the bowel lining to heal. It prevents future "flare-ups" of the disease.

Use Mezera exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the product monograph. For rectal forms, it is best to empty your bowels before use and apply the medication at bedtime to allow it to remain in place overnight. Tablets should be swallowed whole; do not crush or chew them.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Mezera, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

The information below outlines potential side effects of Mezera (mesalazine). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects: These are common side effects of Mezera; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Mezera, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take Mezera/mesalazine if:
• Allergies: You have a known hypersensitivity to mesalazine, aspirin, or other salicylates
• Severe Kidney or Liver Disease: This medication may worsen existing organ impairment.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Mezera, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, please visit the patient medication information at https://www.avirpharma.com/pdf/Mezera-Tab-Patient-Information.pdf.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Mezera. Mezera may interact with other medicines, including but not limited to:
• Azathioprine or 6-Mercaptopurine: Mezera may increase the risk of blood disorders when taken with these specific immunosuppressing drugs.
• Nephrotoxic Agents: Using Mezera with other drugs that stress the kidneys (like certain NSAIDs or antivirals) can increase the risk of kidney damage.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Mezera is generally considered safe during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. However, you should use it only under your doctor's guidance. Mesalamine passes into breast milk in small amounts. While generally considered safe, some infants may develop diarrhea. Monitor your baby closely and consult your doctor.

Use in Children:

The safety and effectiveness of Mezera in children under 18 years of age have not been fully established. Use in pediatric patients is typically at the discretion of a specialist.
