Product Overview

5-ASA Teva is used to manage inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis & Crohn’s Disease. It contains mesalamine as its active ingredient, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Mesalamine functions by reducing inflammation in the rectum and colon, helping alleviate symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding. Its targeted action on the gut lining makes it an essential therapy for patients seeking relief from IBD flare-ups and maintenance of remission.

5-ASA Teva is available in enteric-coated tablets containing 400 mg of mesalamine. It should be taken exactly as directed by your healthcare professional, typically with or after meals, for better absorption. It is suitable for use in adults and adolescents. However, it is recommended that you consult a healthcare professional before using this medicine in pediatric patients. 5-ASA Teva delivers mesalamine directly to the affected areas in the gastrointestinal tract, providing localized relief from inflammation and preventing disease progression.

Similar to other drugs, 5-ASA Teva may cause certain side effects in some users. Its common side effects may include nausea, headache, or mild abdominal discomfort, which usually subside as your body adjusts to the medication. Severe side effects like chest pain, fever, or unusual bleeding should be reported immediately. To avoid complications, inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions or allergies. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, but avoid doubling up. In case of an overdose, seek medical attention promptly. Store 5-ASA Teva in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always follow your doctor’s advice and read the patient leaflet for comprehensive guidance.

What Is the Recommended Dosage of 5-ASA Teva?

If your doctor has recommended a different dose, follow their instructions and do not alter the prescribed dosage without consulting a healthcare professional, as it can cause unfavorable outcomes. 

Dosage for Ulcerative Colitis

For mild to moderately active UC

• The usual recommended adult dosage is 2-8 tablets, taken orally by mouth in divided doses.

For severely active UC

• The usual recommended dosage for adults is 12 tablets orally each day in divided doses. 
• The treatment duration is typically six months. However, they may vary from individual to individual.

For Maintenance of Remission of UC

• The usual recommended dosage for adults is four tablets, taken orally by mouth in divided dosage. Do not abruptly discontinue using the medication without talking with your doctor. 

Dosage for Crohn’s Disease 

• The typical recommended dosage is 400 mg thrice daily. Take it exactly as prescribed without breaking the outer coating of the tablet.

[Note: Remember, these recommendations may vary from person to person. Discuss it with your doctor, and they’ll customize your dosage accordingly.]

How to Take 5-ASA Teva Tablets?

• Before using 5-ASA Teva tablets for the first time and each time getting a refill, you should refer to the patient information leaflet (PIL) and the medication guide given by your pharmacist or healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about its use or if you have difficulty understanding any part of the leaflet, ask your doctor or pharmacist. 
• You should take 5-ASA exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not alter the dosage or discontinue using it without talking to your doctor first, even if you feel well, as it can cause unwanted side effects. 
• The typical dosage of Teva-5 ASA may vary depending on the condition being treated, severity, age, and other factors. 
• Tablets are usually taken with food or a milky drink to minimize the risk of stomach upset unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• You should swallow the tablet whole without breaking the outer layer, which is designed to remain intact. This helps protect the active ingredient until it reaches the rectum and terminal ileum, where it dissolves, and the contents are released into the right place. 
• Take the tablets at the same time every day for consistent blood levels of the drug. 
• Intact or partially intact 5-ASA Teva tablets may sometimes appear in the stool. If this happens repeatedly, you should talk to a healthcare professional. 
• Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease never completely disappear. Once a flare-up of illness has been controlled, your doctor may recommend that you follow a daily maintenance dose to decrease the chances of the symptoms flaring up again. 
• You should drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support the function of the medication, as mesalamine can sometimes cause kidney issues if you become dehydrated.
• Your doctor may suggest you undergo periodic blood tests or kidney function tests to make sure the medication is working effectively & safely.
• Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it worsens. 
• Do not share your medicines with other people even if they have the same symptoms as you. 

[Note: Your doctor will decide the right amount for you based on your condition, following guidelines and studies on the drug. They’ll adjust it as needed over time.]

How Does 5-ASA Teva Work?

5-ASA Teva contains mesalamine, which belongs to the drug class and is an anti-inflammatory medication. It functions by reducing the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, chemicals responsible for causing inflammation. The active drug is released in the distal small bowel and colon, thereby reducing inflammation in the bowel. By decreasing inflammation, this medication helps alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. 

Important Safety Information for Using 5-ASA Teva

What Are the Side Effects of 5-ASA Teva?

Common side effects of 5-ASA Teva: Similar to other medications, this medication can cause certain temporary side effects in some users that usually resolve on their own within a few days or weeks without medical intervention. However, if they persist or become bothersome, you should seek medical advice. Its common side effects include: 

• • Nausea: This can occur because mesalamine interacts with the gastrointestinal lining. To manage nausea, you should take medicine with food or milky drinks and avoid large meals. If nausea persists or becomes bothersome, consult your medical provider. They may make adjustments to your dosage. 

• Diarrhea: This medication’s effect on the intestines can sometimes affect normal bowel movements, causing diarrhea. To prevent this, you should stay adequately hydrated throughout the day. If diarrhea becomes severe or persistent, seek prompt medical advice, as it can indicate an intolerance to the medication. 

• Abdominal pain: Some patients using 5-ASA Teva may experience abdominal discomfort due to the active ingredient mesalamine’s local action in the gut. Taking the medication with meals might help alleviate this pain. If abdominal pain persists or worsens, talk to your physician or healthcare provider to rule out other underlying causes. 

• Headache: This can result due to the medication’s effects on the body. Ensure adequate hydration and consider using over-the-counter pain relief medications if approved by your doctor. Persistent headaches should be discussed with a healthcare practitioner to determine if dosage adjustments are necessary. 

• Rash: This can be due to a hypersensitivity reaction. If you develop a rash, discontinue using 5-ASA Teva and consult a healthcare professional immediately, as this may indicate a hypersensitivity reaction requiring prompt attention. To prevent this, discuss with your doctor what ingredient the medicine contains. 

• Reduced appetite: A decrease in appetite may occur during mesalamine treatment. To manage this, you should maintain a balanced diet and eat small, frequent meals. If appetite loss leads to significant weight loss or nutritional deficiencies, seek medical advice. 

• Hair loss: Although rare, some individuals report hair thinning or loss, which is typically temporary. To support hair health, you should maintain a healthy diet and manage stress. If hair loss persists, talk to your medical provider. 

• Acne: Mesalamine may contribute to the development of ane in some cases. To help mitigate this effect, you should keep the skin clean and use non-comedogenic skincare products. If anemia becomes problematic, talk to a dermatologist promptly for appropriate treatment options. 

• Flatulence: Increased gas may result from the medication’s interaction with the gut flora. To manage this side effect, you should make certain dietary modifications. If this symptom persists, seek advice from your doctor. 

Serious side effects of 5-ASA Teva: Rarely,  5-aminosalicylic acid can cause severe side effects in some users that require immediate medical attention. Your doctor has prescribed you this medication after determining that its benefits justify the risks associated with its use. You should call a healthcare professional or 911 if you experience any of the side effects given below.

• Anemia: Mesalamine may lead to anemia, characterized by dizziness, pale skin, unusual tiredness, weakness, and shortness of breath. This occurs due to bone marrow suppression, reducing red blood cell production. Regular blood tests are vital to monitor blood counts during treatment. If symptoms of anemia develop, consult your medical provider promptly; they may make alterations to your dosage or recommend discontinuation.
• Kidney Problems: Mesalamine can cause interstitial nephritis, leading to impaired kidney function. Its signs may include increased urination at night, decreased urine production & blood in the urine. Preventive measures include regular monitoring of kidney function before and during treatment. Report any urinary changes to your doctor immediately to prevent further renal damage.
• Infections: Symptoms such as fever, chills, shortness of breath, severe diarrhea, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness may indicate an infection. Mesalamine can suppress the immune system, increasing infection risk. Maintain good hygiene & avoid contact with sick people. Seek medical attention if infection symptoms arise; your physician may need to adjust your treatment.
• Liver Problems: Symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, vomiting, weight loss,  dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and pale stools suggest liver issues. Mesalamine can cause liver enzyme elevations, indicating hepatic stress. Regular liver function tests are recommended. If hepatic symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider; discontinuation may be necessary.
• Skin Rash and Itching: These may result from an allergic reaction to mesalamine. Discontinue use and consult your physician immediately, as this could signify a hypersensitivity reaction requiring prompt attention.
• Lung Inflammation: Fever, cough, chills, shortness of breath, chest pain, and wheezing may indicate lung inflammation, a rare side effect of mesalamine. If respiratory symptoms develop, seek immediate medical evaluation to assess lung function and determine appropriate treatment.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Symptoms include pain during urination, increased frequency, and low back or flank pain. Mesalamine may predispose some individuals to UTIs. Maintain adequate hydration and practice good personal hygiene. If UTI symptoms occur, consult your doctor for appropriate antibiotic therapy.
• Serious Allergic Reactions: Abdominal cramps, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, or swelling of the face and throat indicate a severe allergic response. Discontinue mesalamine immediately and seek emergency medical attention, as these reactions can be life-threatening.
• Acute Intolerance Syndrome: Severe abdominal cramps or pain, bloody diarrhea, chills, and fever may suggest this condition, which mimics a flare of ulcerative colitis. If such symptoms develop, stop taking mesalamine and inform your healthcare provider promptly.
• Pericarditis (Inflammation Around the Heart): Fatigue, fever, difficulty breathing, cough, and chest pain can indicate pericarditis. This rare side effect requires immediate medical evaluation to prevent complications.
• Pancreatitis: Abdominal pain on the upper left side, back pain, nausea, fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, and swollen abdomen are signs of pancreatitis. Discontinue mesalamine and seek urgent medical care if these symptoms occur, as pancreatitis can be severe.
• Serious Skin Reactions: Rash, blistering of the lips, eyes, or mouth, skin peeling, red skin, fever, or joint pain may indicate conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Stop using mesalamine and seek immediate medical attention, as these reactions can be life-threatening.

[Note: Remember, this list may not cover all possible side effects. Always consult with your healthcare giver for medical advice about side effects.]
