Who should not take PENTASA?
You should not take PENTASA if:
You have an allergy to other medicines containing salicylate e.g. aspirin
You are a child under the age of 15 (tablets) or you are a child under the
age of 6 (sachets)
You have severe liver and/or kidney problems
You are allergic to any of the ingredients of PENTASA
If you are unsure about any of the above then speak to your doctor.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding, speak
to your doctor or pharmacist about taking PENTASA as they will need to decide
if this medicine is suitable.

What if I forget to take PENTASA or take too much?
If you forget to take your PENTASA dose, take the next dose as soon as you
remember, unless it is less than 3 hours until your next dose. It is important
that you do not take a double dose to make up for the one that was forgotten.

If you accidentally take too much medication, you should go to your nearest
emergency department or contact your doctor immediately. Ensure you take
the pack and any remaining medication with you.

If you have any questions then ask your doctor.
