Mosart 400 mg Tablet DR

Mosart 400 mg Tablet DR is a delayed-release tablet that contains 400 mg of mesalazine (mesalamine) in each tablet. It belongs to the aminosalicylate class and is used to help treat inflammatory bowel disease, especially ulcerative colitis, by reducing inflammation in the lining of the intestine. Because it is a delayed-release tablet, Mosart 400 mg Tablet DR is designed to release the medicine farther along the digestive tract rather than right away in the stomach. It is not a pain reliever or an antibiotic, and it should be used exactly as prescribed for your condition.

How it works: Mesalazine works by calming inflammation in the bowel wall, which helps reduce swelling, irritation, and diarrhea linked to ulcerative colitis. The delayed-release tablet form helps the medicine pass through the upper stomach and small intestine so more of it can act where inflammation is present in the lower gut.

Mosart 400 mg Tablet DR is a mid-strength tablet that can fit maintenance or treatment plans where a doctor wants smaller, more flexible mesalazine dosing than a higher-strength tablet. Compared with lower-strength tablets, the 400 mg tablet makes it easier to adjust the total daily dose in steps, which can matter when your doctor is fine-tuning control of symptoms.

• Ulcerative colitis
• Maintenance of remission in inflammatory bowel disease
• Reduction of bowel inflammation
• Doctor-directed treatment of mild to moderate colitis

• Swallow Mosart 400 mg Tablet DR whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it exactly at the time(s) your doctor prescribes, with or without food unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Do not take more tablets than instructed, even if symptoms are not fully gone yet.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Keep the delayed-release tablet intact so it can release medicine properly in the intestine.

Each Mosart 400 mg Tablet DR provides 400 mg of mesalazine. The total dose may be taken once daily or divided into multiple doses depending on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions, and the maximum daily amount is set by the prescriber rather than by the patient. Because this is a prescription delayed-release tablet, your doctor decides the exact dose based on your symptoms, response, and overall health.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
