Pentasa Sachets (mesalamine) consist of granules that contain an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory drug, used to treat Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, both of which are otherwise known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients may also buy Pentasa Sachets to treat similar bowel conditions, provided they involve inflammation.

This product is very similar to Pentasa Tablets; while the tablets consist of granules held together with a tableting material, the sachet just contains granules. Even though tablets can be dissolved in water to free the granules, patients who have persistant difficulty swallowing tablets will probably just want to buy Pentasa Sachets.

Patients as young as age 6 can use Pentasa Sachets, though dosage will be lower for younger patients. Mothers who are pregnant or breastfeeding should speak with a doctor before use.

Product Description

Patients who buy Pentasa Sachets will receive a number of individually-wrapped sachets, each of which contains 1 g, 2 g, or 4 g of medication according to which was purchased. Multiple low-dose sachets can be taken to create a single large dose; for example, taking four 1 g sachets is the same as taking one 4 g sachet. There is no difference effect-wise.

To use, open the sachet by tearing or cutting the top off and empty the contents onto the tongue. Granules can be swallowed as-is or, as most people prefer, washed down with a glass of fluid.

Granules must not be chewed. They're designed to pass through the stomach into the bowel, where they slowly release the medication. Chewing disrupts this process and they'll mostly be absorbed in the stomach, where they provide little benefit.

Dosage & Administration

Patients buy Pentasa Sachets to treat active attacks and to maintain remission. Treatment is very similar, though dosage does vary a bit.

In active attacks, the bowel becomes inflamed and causes discomfort, pain, bloating, diarrhea, urgent need to empty the bowels, and so forth. Aside from being uncomfortable this can be very disruptive. To treat an active attack:

• Take 4 g (4000 mg) once per day.
• Some patients prefer to take 2 g (2000 mg) twice per day instead.
• Continue treatment until the condition is in remission.

Active attacks should be resolved in a few days to two weeks.

In remission, the condition is still present but not remarkably inflamed and with few or no symptoms. However, an active attack is all but imminent with IBD, as there's no known cure. Patients buy Pentasa Sachets to help keep IBD in remission; while it may not work 100 percent of the time for all patients, even when attacks do occur they're less frequent, less severe, and easier to resolve. To maintain remission:

• Take 2 g (2000 mg) once per day.
• Continue treatment for as long as it provides benefit.

In children age 6 and up dosage largely depends on weight; those who weigh under 40 kg (88 lbs) should take half of the adult dose, or 2 mg per day to treat an active attack and 1 mg to maintain remission. Those who weigh more than 40 kg (88 lbs) can take an adult dose. Ideally a child's dosage will be determined by a doctor.

In all cases, while taking Pentasa Sachets, if the condition does not improve within one month of treatment or grows worse at any time, discontinue use and consult a doctor.

Before you Buy Pentasa Sachets

Certain patients should not buy Pentasa Sachets at all, namely those who have a history of:

• Allergy to aspirin or any other salicylates
• Severe kidney or liver issues

Speak with a doctor before use if there is a history of:

• Peptic ulcer
• Bleeding disorders
• Breathing disorders

Medications which are concerning and should pointed out to the prescribing doctor include:

• Medications that suppress the immune system
• Medications that inhibit clotting or thin the blood
• Chemotherapy medications

Most common side effects associated with this medication are difficult to distinguish from symptoms of IBD itself, including diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. These are not cause for concern unless severe or persistant.
