Salofalk/Mesalazine Sachets

When gut inflammation keeps coming back, it can disrupt everything, from your energy levels to your confidence in daily routines. Salofalk sachets offer a flexible way to manage inflammation, especially if you prefer an alternative to tablets.

Formulated with mesalazine, this prolonged-release, granule-based bowel medication used for inflammatory bowel conditions delivers targeted anti-inflammatory bowel therapy, supporting long-term digestive health and reliable symptom control.

Salofalk sachets are used to treat inflammatory bowel conditions such as ulcerative colitis. They are commonly prescribed for:

• Ulcerative colitis flare-ups.
• Preventing recurrence of inflammation.
• Long-term bowel treatment.
• Managing symptoms like diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and bleeding.

Although often searched for as IBS sachets, this treatment is used where inflammation is the underlying cause.

Salofalk sachets work by reducing inflammation in the lining of the bowel. The active ingredient mesalazine acts directly on intestinal cells to reduce the release of inflammatory chemicals. This leads to:

• Reduced swelling in the colon.
• Healing of the gut lining.
• Improved bowel function.
• Better long-term colon care.

The granules release the medicine in a controlled way, providing consistent intestinal inflammation relief throughout the bowel.

Salofalk sachets should be taken exactly as prescribed to maintain consistent control over inflammation.

General guidance:

• Open the sachet and pour the granules onto your tongue.
• Swallow with plenty of water or juice.
• Do not chew the granules.
• Alternative method: The granules can be mixed with yoghurt and taken immediately.

Typical dosage for adults: Active flare-ups: Usually 1–2 sachets once daily (commonly in the morning), depending on severity, sachet strength, and total prescribed daily dose. Maintenance phase: Typically 1 sachet daily or divided doses, depending on the strength prescribed. Higher risk of relapse: May require a higher once-daily dose as directed.

For children (6+ years): Dose is based on body weight and adjusted individually.

Important tips: Take at the same time each day. Continue taking regularly, even if symptoms improve.

Consistent use supports effective anti-inflammatory bowel therapy and long-term stability.

Salofalk sachets are suitable for adults and some children with inflammatory bowel conditions, based on clinical assessment. They may be appropriate for:

• Adults with ulcerative colitis.
• Patients needing flexible bowel treatment options.
• Individuals requiring long-term digestive health support.

This prescription gut medication is used under supervision to ensure safe treatment.

Salofalk sachets may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions. Avoid or take extra care if you:

• Are allergic to mesalazine or salicylates (such as aspirin).
• Have serious kidney or liver conditions.
• Have a history of lung conditions such as asthma.

A full consultation ensures safe and appropriate colon care.

Like all medicines, Salofalk sachets can cause side effects, although many people tolerate them well.

Common side effects:

• Diarrhoea.
• Nausea or vomiting.

Serious side effects:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty).
• Unexplained bruising or infection symptoms.
• Severe skin reactions.

Salofalk sachets can interact with medicines that affect immunity or blood clotting. Inform your prescriber if you take:

• Blood-thinning medicines.
• Immunosuppressants.
• Medicines that affect bowel function or stool acidity.

Regular monitoring is recommended during treatment with Salofalk sachets. You may need:

• Blood tests to monitor overall health.
• Kidney and liver function checks.

Additional advice:

• Drink plenty of fluids daily.
• Do not stop treatment suddenly.
• Inform healthcare professionals before lab tests.

This ensures safe and effective long-term anti-inflammatory bowel therapy.

Salofalk sachets are chosen for their flexibility and ease of use in long-term bowel care. People often prefer this format because:
