Salofalk/Mesalazine

When your gut is inflamed, even everyday activities can feel unpredictable. From urgent trips to the toilet to ongoing abdominal discomfort, it can affect your routine and confidence.

Salofalk tablets are designed to target inflammation directly in the bowel, offering effective ulcerative colitis relief and supporting long-term digestive care. Containing mesalazine, this prescription IBS drug (used where inflammation is involved) works at the source of irritation, helping restore balance and improve overall colon health.

Salofalk tablets are used to treat inflammatory bowel conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. They are commonly prescribed for:

• Ulcerative colitis flare-ups.
• Long-term prevention of inflammation.
• Crohn's disease affecting the digestive tract.
• Ongoing intestinal inflammation relief.

While often searched under IBS treatment, Salofalk tablets are used when inflammation is present rather than muscle spasms.

Salofalk tablets work by reducing inflammation in the lining of the intestine. The active ingredient mesalazine acts directly on the bowel lining to reduce the production of inflammatory substances. This results in:

• Reduced swelling in the colon.
• Healing of damaged tissue.
• Improved bowel function.
• Better long-term digestive care.

This targeted action makes it an effective anti-inflammatory gut treatment for chronic bowel conditions.

Salofalk tablets should be taken regularly and exactly as prescribed to maintain consistent control over inflammation.

General guidance:

• Swallow the tablets whole with water.
• Take after meals unless advised otherwise.
• Do not crush or chew the tablets.

Typical dosage for adults: Active flare-ups: Usually two tablets three times daily (morning, midday, evening). In more severe cases, the dose may be increased depending on response. Maintenance phase: Typically two tablets three times daily to prevent symptoms returning.

For children (6+ years): Dose is based on body weight and divided throughout the day. Usually lower than adult dosing.

Important tips: Take doses at the same time each day. Stay well hydrated during treatment. Continue taking regularly, even when symptoms improve.

Consistent use supports effective intestinal inflammation relief and long-term stability.

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