Directions of Use
Mesalamine suppository works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the rectum and lower intestine. It is an anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits the production of certain chemicals (prostaglandins and leukotrienes) in the colon, which are involved in causing inflammation, swelling, and tissue damage. By directly targeting the affected area, the suppository form provides localized relief from inflammation, reducing symptoms like rectal bleeding, pain, and diarrhea.
