Mesalazine: What It Is Used For, How It Is Used And Contraindications

Used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, mesalamine can be administered orally (tablets, gastro-resistant and / or modified-release tablets, modified-release capsules) or rectally (suppositories, rectal suspension, granules for rectal suspension, rectal foam, rectal gel). To purchase the medicines that contain it, it is necessary to present a specific medical prescription (repeatable - RR); however, being classified as class A drugs, their cost can be reimbursed by the National Health System (SSN), wholly or partially, depending on the case (it may be necessary to pay a ticket).
