¿Qué es Mesalamine Er?

Mesalamina ER (liberación prolongada) es un medicamento antiinflamatorio utilizado principalmente para tratar la colitis ulcerosa, una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica del intestino. Funciona liberando el ingrediente activo mesalamina directamente en el colon, donde reduce la inflamacion al inhibir la producción de ciertos químicos en el intestino. Esta formulación está diseñada para asegurar una liberación sostenida del medicamento, optimizando los efectos terapéuticos y minimizando los efectos secundarios.
