What is the main purpose of using Pentasa?
-
It is used to reduce inflammation in the lining of the gut, helping to treat symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease and prevent flare-ups.

Why is it important not to chew the tablets?

Pentasa tablets are designed for "prolonged release" to deliver the medicine gradually; chewing them destroys this mechanism and reduces effectiveness.
-
-
Can I stop taking Pentasa once I feel better?
-
No, you should continue taking it for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, as it is often used long-term to keep the disease in remission.
-
-
Is it normal to see tablet remains in the stool?
-
Yes, it is common to see the empty shell of the tablet in the stool after the active medicine has been absorbed by the body.
-
-
Does Pentasa affect kidney function?

Rarely, it can affect the kidneys. Doctors typically monitor kidney function through regular blood tests during treatment.
