Active Ingredient:
Mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid) – an anti-inflammatory agent that works on the lining of the colon and rectum.
Inactive Ingredients:
Hard fat or other base material used to form the suppository (may vary depending on the manufacturer).
Targeted Relief
Delivers the medicine directly to the rectum and lower colon, where inflammation is most active – ensuring fast and localized action.
Reduces Inflammation
Contains mesalamine, which reduces inflammation by blocking chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause swelling, pain, and tissue damage.
Relieves Symptoms
Helps relieve common symptoms of ulcerative colitis and proctitis such as:
Rectal bleeding
Abdominal pain
Urgency to pass stool
Diarrhea
Rectal discomfort
Minimal Systemic Absorption
Because it works locally, it has less absorption into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
Convenient for Night-time Use
Usually administered at bedtime, allowing the medicine to act overnight with better retention and effectiveness.
Supportive in Maintenance Therapy
Can be used as part of a long-term management plan to prevent flare-ups and maintain remission of symptoms.
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Remove the suppository from its wrapper.
Lie on your side with one leg straight and the other bent.
Gently insert the suppository into the rectum with your finger.
Stay lying down for at least 15 minutes to allow the suppository to stay in place and begin to melt.
Wash your hands again after use.
Adults and adolescents (based on doctor’s prescription)
People diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or proctitis
Patients needing localized anti-inflammatory treatment in the rectal area
