📋Overview
Mesalamine is a medication primarily used to manage inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract, particularly the colon. It is most commonly associated with diseases such as ulcerative colitis and, to a lesser extent, Crohn's disease. Mesalamine works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the intestines. Its use helps control symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding linked to these chronic conditions.
