What is Lialda?

Lialda contains the medication mesalamine and is prescribed to treat mild to moderate ulcerative colitis and to prevent rectal bleeding, diarrhea, stomach pain and other symptoms from returning. Lialda is an anti-inflammatory medication which stops the body from producing certain substances and reduces swelling within the colon.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Lialda is usually taken once a day and should be taken alongside a meal.
• Swallow mesalamine whole. Do not crush, break or chew the tablets as this can prevent the medication from being properly released into the colon.
• Your mesalamine dosage is based on your medical conditions and response to treatment. Do not increase or change your mesalamine dosage unless advised by a doctor.
• Lialda is most effective when taken regularly. Try to take it at the same time each day.
