Pentasa Sachet Granule 60s (Box)

Pentasa Sachet Granule is an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory medicine, with mesalazine (mesalamine) as its active ingredient, designed to release gradually along the digestive tract. A question many patients ask is why it comes as granules rather than tablets — this format can offer flexible dosing and may suit those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Some people notice headache, nausea, or mild abdominal discomfort, especially when starting treatment, and rarely, some may notice a worsening of bowel symptoms, which should be reported to a doctor. This medicine is intended for longer-term, consistent use as directed by a gastroenterologist, rather than as an as-needed treatment. If you notice unusual bruising, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or a significant change in kidney function symptoms like reduced urination, please contact your doctor promptly.

The typical adult dose ranges based on the condition being treated and disease activity, often divided into two or more doses daily, as determined by your gastroenterologist. Do not adjust the dose without medical guidance, as consistent use is important for effectiveness.

• Headache
• Nausea
• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Diarrhoea
• Flatulence
• Skin rash
• Dizziness
• Rare kidney function changes with long-term use

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in the original packaging. Keep out of reach of children.

• Take doses consistently at the same times each day
• Do not chew the granules; mix with water or juice if preferred
• Attend regular follow-up appointments and kidney function checks if advised
• Report any new or worsening bowel symptoms to your doctor
• Store away from heat and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children

Pentasa granules are taken by mouth, either swallowed directly with water or mixed into a small amount of water or juice, without chewing the granules. Take it at the same times each day as prescribed, ideally with or after food to help with tolerability.

Pentasa sachets generally remain stable for around 24–36 months from manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date on each sachet and the outer carton before use.

The active ingredient is Mesalazine (Mesalamine), a locally acting aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory agent.

Pentasa should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to mesalazine, salicylates, or other components of the formulation. It should be used with caution in those with significant kidney or liver impairment.

Mesalazine may interact with certain blood thinners, other anti-inflammatory medicines, and medicines affecting kidney function, so a full medication review with your doctor is recommended. It can generally be taken with or without food, though taking it consistently around meals may help with tolerability.
