Benefits of Mesacol Tablet

In Digestive problems
Mesacol relieves the digestive symptom it was prescribed for, whether that is loose motions, cramps, bloating or an unsettled stomach.
In Loose motions
Mesacol slows the gut or restores its balance, so stools become formed again and the urgency and cramping settle.
In Restoring gut bacteria
Mesacol replaces the helpful bacteria the gut loses during diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, helping digestion settle sooner.
In Stomach protection
Mesacol coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.

How Mesacol Tablet works

Mesacol Tablet DR is an aminosalicylate. It works by suppressing the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation (swelling) in the intestines. This reduces ulceration, bleeding and painful symptoms, and prevents future flare-ups of the disease.

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause bloating and loose motions. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Warnings and precautions

Loose motions with high fever, blood in the stool or severe abdominal pain need a doctor, not a home remedy. Oral rehydration salts and fluids matter more than any medicine when you have loose motions — dehydration is the real danger, especially in children and older people. Take a probiotic a couple of hours apart from an antibiotic so the antibiotic does not simply kill it. Do not use an anti-motility medicine such as loperamide if you have a fever or blood in the stool.

Do not take Mesacol if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Probiotics are used with caution in people whose immune system is significantly suppressed.

Interactions with other medicines

Antibiotics reduce the effect of probiotics taken at the same time.

How to store Mesacol Tablet

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Some probiotic preparations ask to be refrigerated — follow the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.
