Pentasa is a medication used to treat ulcerative colitis. It belongs to the group of medications called aminosalicylates. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals in the lining of the colon, reducing the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are responsible for inflammation caused by ulcerative colitis.
Take Pentasa exactly as directed by your doctor. Follow all recommendations carefully. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet or capsule. Swallow the pill whole. Contact your doctor if you find undissolved tablets in your stool.
Before using Pentasa, discuss with your doctor if you have pyloric stenosis, an allergy to sulfasalazine, congestive heart failure, or liver or kidney disease.
Do not use Pentasa if you are allergic to mesalamine, aspirin, or other salicylates. Consult your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, pyloric stenosis, congestive heart failure, or a history of allergy to sulfasalazine.
