What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Mesalamine Overview
Mesalamine is used to treat a certain bowel disease (ulcerative colitis). It helps to reduce symptoms of ulcerative colitis such as diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and stomach pain. Mesalamine belongs to a class of drugs known as aminosalicylates. It works by decreasing swelling in the colon.
How to Use Mesalamine
Take Mesalamine by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times daily. Swallow Mesalamine whole. Do not crush, chew, or break. Doing so can keep the drug from being released properly into the colon. Drink plenty of fluids during treatment with Mesalamine unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This will help prevent kidney stones. The Dosage of Mesalamine is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the Dosage of Mesalamine is also based on weight. Different brands of Mesalamine deliver different amounts of medication. Do not switch brands without your doctor's permission and directions. Use Mesalamine regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Mesalamine Precautions
Before taking mesalamine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other aminosalicylates (such as balsalazide, olsalazine); or to salicylates (such as aspirin, salsalate); or to sulfasalazine; or if you have any other allergies. Mesalamine may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using Mesalamine, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,kidney disease, liver disease, stomach blockage (such as pyloric stenosis). Mesalamine may make you more sensitive to the sun, especially if you have skin problems (such as atopic dermatitis, eczema). Limit your time in the sun. Avoid tanning booths and sunlamps. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Tell your doctor right away if you get sunburned or have skin blisters/redness. Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). Mesalamine is similar to aspirin. Children and teenagers younger than 18 years should not take aspirin or aspirin-related medications (such as salicylates) if they have chickenpox, flu, or any undiagnosed illness, or if they have recently received a vaccine. In these cases, taking aspirin increases the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness. During pregnancy, Mesalamine should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Mesalamine passes into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Mesalamine Misdose
If you miss a dose of Mesalamine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Mesalamine Interactions
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions.
