Why have I been prescribed PENTASA?
You have been prescribed PENTASA for the treatment of your ulcerative colitis.
It contains a substance called mesalazine, which is an anti-inflammatory.
PENTASA reduces inflammation in the gut and may be used when your colitis
symptoms are flaring (when your disease is active) and also to prevent them
from returning (this is also known as maintenance treatment).
