• Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: Primarily used to treat mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon. 
• Maintenance of Remission: Helps in maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis to prevent flare-ups and manage symptoms effectively. 
• Inflammation Reduction: Aids in reducing inflammation in the lining of the colon and rectum, relieving symptoms like diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain.

Dosage and Administration 

• Take Asacol HD exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically 3 times a day. 
• Swallow the tablets whole with water; do not crush, break, or chew them. 
• Take the medication with or without food, as instructed by your healthcare provider. 
• Continue taking Asacol HD even if you feel well, to maintain remission of ulcerative colitis. 
• Do not take Asacol HD if you are allergic to salicylates (such as aspirin) or mesalamine. 
• Avoid discontinuing the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may cause a flare-up of symptoms. 
• Do not use this medication if you have severe kidney or liver problems unless advised by your healthcare provider. 
• Avoid exposing the tablets to excessive heat or moisture, as this can affect their effectiveness. 
• Do not take more than the prescribed dose; overdose can increase the risk of side effects. 

Mechanism of Action 

Asacol HD contains mesalamine, which is an anti-inflammatory drug that works locally in the colon. Mesalamine inhibits the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. By reducing this inflammation, Asacol HD helps alleviate the symptoms of ulcerative colitis and maintains remission. 

Contraindications 

• Do not use Asacol HD if you have a known allergy to mesalamine or any of the tablet’s ingredients. 
• Avoid use if you have a history of severe kidney impairment, as mesalamine can worsen kidney function. 
• Patients with a history of severe liver impairment should not use Asacol HD without consulting a doctor. 
• Avoid using Asacol HD if you have a known hypersensitivity to salicylates (e.g., aspirin). 
• Do not take this medication if you have intestinal blockage or pyloric stenosis.

Precautions 

• Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver disease before starting Asacol HD. 
• Use with caution if you have a history of heart conditions, as mesalamine may rarely cause pericarditis (inflammation around the heart). 
• Regular blood tests may be required to monitor kidney and liver function during treatment. 
• Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are taking, as Asacol HD can interact with other drugs, including blood thinners.
