Asacol HD (Mesalamine)

Medical Uses: Asacol HD (Mesalamine) is an aminosalicylate used for the treatment of moderately active ulcerative colitis in adults.

Recommended Dosage: The recommended dosage is 1600 mg (two 800 mg tablets) 3 times daily for 6 weeks. Take the tablets on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before and 2 hours after a meal. Swallow whole; do not cut, break, or chew the tablets. Drink an adequate amount of fluids. Do not substitute one Asacol HD 800 tablet for two mesalamine delayed-release 400 mg oral products. Evaluate renal function before initiation of this treatment.

• Mesalamine might trigger moderate occlusive kidney disease or damage through interstitial nephritis. Users are advised to check their renal capabilities before starting treatment and even during treatment. The medication may potentially harm patients with existing kidney conditions.
• Some patients may develop acute intolerance, with signs and symptoms like cramping, diarrhea, and worsening colitis. If symptoms occur, stop using this drug immediately. The syndrome mimics colitis flares, making proper diagnosis crucial to avoid further complications.
• An individual could experience severe allergic responses such as anaphylactic shock or drug fever. Notable signs include but are not limited to rush, dyspnea, inflammation, and tightness around the chest. Patients with any form of sulfa allergy need to be on high guard as mesalamine has reported cross-sensitivity.
• Severe liver failure may occur, especially in patients with pre-existing liver disease. Regular liver function tests are recommended. Symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, and persistent fatigue require immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening complications.
• Treatment with Mesalamine 800 mg has the potential to trigger extreme and debilitating skin conditions e.g. Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and necrolysis, amongst others. Some minor signs and symptoms could be blistering rash, shedding skin, or even painful skin lesions. Any sign of the skin response should lead to immediate cessation of the drug.
• Patients taking mesalamine may show increased sensitivity to sunlight and suffer from sunburns. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing to minimize phototoxic responses and skin rashes.
• Mesalamine has the potential to cause or aggravate kidney stones and result in incapacitating pain felt during urination. Drinking enough water to lessen this risk is advisable. You need to see a doctor if there are any signs of blood in urine, aches in the lower back region, or burning sensation while passing urine.
• Mesalamine therapy should be used during pregnancy only when required. Some studies show no adverse outcome, some include possible damage to the fetus. Women with children should see a physician to balance the merits against the dangers before further treatment.
• Mesalamine can be found in breast milk and may result in diarrhea in children. Nursing students should consult their practitioner to ensure safety, Mesalamine, if given, could cause loose stool or other abnormal signs, thus either the infant or breastfeeding has to stop within six hours.
