Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Mesalamine 4 Gm/60 ml/Budesonide 2 mg/60 ml Enema is a ready-to-use liquid solution, specifically designed for rectal administration. It is contained in pre-filled enema bottles, providing a convenient and hygienic method for targeted treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Proctitis, Proctosigmoiditis, and Diverticulitis.

Mesalamine, an anti-inflammatory agent, works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the intestines. Budesonide, a corticosteroid, aids in reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. The combination of these two medications can help alleviate symptoms associated with these diseases, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.

It is crucial to understand that this formulation is not intended for treating acute flare-ups of these diseases. It is designed for maintenance therapy and may take several weeks to start working, with full effects potentially visible after several months. Therefore, patience and consistent use are key to achieving the desired therapeutic outcomes.

Patients should also be aware of potential side effects, which may include nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. If any of these side effects occur, it is recommended to contact a healthcare provider immediately. This formulation is a significant advancement in the treatment of these disease states, offering a measured dose of the solution for easy and controlled application without the need for additional preparation.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Mesalamine 4 Gm/60 ml/Budesonide 2 mg/60 ml Enema is a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Proctitis, Proctosigmoiditis, and Diverticulitis. This formulation combines two potent medications, Mesalamine and Budesonide, both of which work synergistically to reduce inflammation in the intestines. Mesalamine is an anti-inflammatory drug that targets inflammation in the intestinal lining, while Budesonide, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation and suppresses the immune system. Together, these medications help alleviate the symptoms associated with these diseases.

The administration of this medication is rectal, typically once or twice daily as per the healthcare provider's instructions. The patient is advised to lie on their left side, with their knees bent and head slightly elevated. The enema is then inserted into the rectum, and the solution is slowly released. It is recommended that the patient remains in this position for at least 15 minutes to ensure optimal absorption of the medication. Following the administration, the patient should continue to lie down for a minimum of 30 minutes before getting up.

Adherence to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment is crucial for the effectiveness of this medication. It is not advisable to use more or less of the medication than prescribed, or to use it for a longer period than recommended by your healthcare provider. If you have any queries or concerns about the use of this medication, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
