Lialda Description
This medication is used to treat a flare/attack of ulcerative colitis, a type of bowel disease. It does not cure ulcerative colitis, but it may decrease symptoms such as diarrhea and rectal bleeding caused by irritation/swelling (inflammation) in the colon/rectum. Mesalamine is an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory drug. It is believed to work by keeping your body from making certain natural chemicals that may cause inflammation.
