Lialda Information:

Lialda (mesalamine) is an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. In these inflammatory bowel conditions, the immune system attacks the lining of the colon and rectum, resulting in painful swelling, sores, or ulcers. Lialda is used to treat acute flares of ulcerative colitis. It is also used to prevent acute flares by maintaining remission in patients with ulcerative colitis. It's typically prescribed for mild to moderate cases. It can also be used to treat acute flare-ups of Crohn's disease and induce remission.

Mesalamine (also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid) belongs to the aminosalicylates class of drugs. It works topically at the site of the lesion in the gut rather than systemically throughout the body. Instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream, as many pills are, the medication is designed to coat the inflamed tissue directly. It inhibits the production of specific inflammatory mediators and may act as an antioxidant, thereby reducing inflammation and irritation. This reduced inflammation allows the colonic lining to heal, which may explain why patients often experience a decrease in diarrhea and rectal bleeding following this medication.

Lialda specifically employs a multi-matrix system technology, which appears to ensure that the drug is released slowly and evenly throughout the entire large intestine, rather than dissolving too early in the stomach. This targeted approach helps keep the disease in check over long periods with minimal widespread side effects.
