Salofalk is a prescription medication used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis. It can be used to treat inflammation of the lining of the large bowel and rectum (acute ulcerative colitis).
Salofalk contains mesalamine, also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). It belongs to the group of medications known as anti-inflammatories. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, which helps to reduce the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
Salofalk tablets should be taken in the morning, at midday and in the evening, 1 hour before meals. They should be swallowed whole, not chewed. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and timing of the tablets. You should also consult the medication leaflet or your doctor for more specific instructions on how to use Salofalk tablets.
The recommended dosage of Salofalk varies depending on the type and severity of the condition being treated. For the treatment of acute episodes of ulcerative colitis, a dose of 1.5g to 3.0g mesalazine in three divided doses (1 or 2 tablets of Salofalk 500mg three times daily) may be used. For maintenance therapy, the usual dose is lower, typically starting at 1.5g per day and reducing to 0.75g per day. However, follow your doctor’s specific instructions and consult the medication leaflet for further information on how to use Salofalk.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
