Rowasa Enema Information

Rowasa Enema (Mesalamine/5-aminosalicylic acid) is an anti-inflammatory medication used topically to treat active ulcerative colitis, a localized form of inflammatory bowel disease affecting the large intestine, characterized by inflammation, ulcers, diarrhea, and bleeding. It is typically used when this condition affects the distal portion of the large intestine, such as the sigmoid colon and rectum. It may also be used to treat mild-to-moderate Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease similar to ulcerative colitis but affecting any part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is used in Crohn's disease, typically when it involves the distal intestine, such as the sigmoid colon and rectum.

Its active ingredient is mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid [5-ASA]) and belongs to the aminosalicylate class of drugs. Although its mechanism of action is not well understood, it is believed to act as a topical anti-inflammatory within the gut rather than systemically through the bloodstream, as with a traditional pill. When in the gut, it blocks the production of chemicals that trigger inflammation, effectively mitigating the adverse immune response underlying these inflammatory bowel diseases.

While an oral tablet may be absorbed too early in the small intestine, this enema formulation coats the lower colon and rectum directly. In fact, studies show it can reach as far up as the splenic flexure (the bend in your colon near your ribs) in many people.
