Description
GENERIC NAME: mesalamine BRAND NAMES: Pentasa; Rowasa; Asacol DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Mesalamine is a derivative of salicylic acid and is thought to be the active component of sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), a combination of a sulfa drug and salicylic acid. Mesalamine works as an antiinflammatory agent in treating ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Its benefit is believed to be due to a topical effect on the inflamed bowel. Following rectal administration of mesalamine (by enema or suppository), only 15% of a dose is absorbed. Following oral administration, 28% of a dose is absorbed. Mesalamine was approved by the FDA in December 1987.
