Reading size

How this medicine works

LIALDA uses a pH-dependent polymer coat. The label describes breakdown at pH 6.8 or above, normally in the terminal ileum, followed by delayed and extended mesalamine release. This explains the exact product but creates no plan to split, crush, change tablet count or switch formulation.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

LIALDA is the brand name in this record; mesalamine delayed-release tablets is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral tablet).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

How to read a score line: ‘scored’ or ‘unscored’ first identifies this labelled presentation. A score line by itself does not permit self-splitting, reducing or changing the product. Only an explicit statement in the current label for this exact presentation, checked with a pharmacist against the prescription, can support any further handling.

1 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

LIALDA enlarged label: per-tablet amount, swallowing whole, kidney function and interactions

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

The 1.2 g figure is mesalamine per tablet and 120 Tablets is the bottle count. Swallow tablets whole; do not split or crush them. Individual tablet count, frequency, course and any switch to other mesalamine products cannot be inferred from pack numbers or this page.

  • Kidney function requires professional assessment before and during treatment. Prior kidney disease, older age, dehydration or concurrent nephrotoxic medicines needs extra review. Marked urine change, swelling or severe illness needs prompt care; do not self-stop or switch.
  • NSAIDs and other nephrotoxic medicines may increase renal adverse-reaction risk. Do not merely separate them using a webpage; give prescriptions, OTC pain medicines, herbs and supplements together to a doctor or pharmacist.
  • Azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine may increase blood-dyscrasia risk and requires professional review of complete blood counts and platelets. Fever, unusual bruising, bleeding or marked fatigue cannot be self-assessed on a webpage.
  • The label reports a higher incidence of blood dyscrasias in people aged 65 and older. Kidney change and polypharmacy are also common; review actual packs, prescriptions and tests together rather than self-reducing by age.
  • Acute intolerance syndrome, severe skin reactions, chest pain, breathing difficulty, marked worsening abdominal pain/bloody stool or another acute change requires prompt medical assessment; this page does not decide stopping or exclude emergencies.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

This card brings together the medicine-specific product route and 15 market-level official vigilance gateways. It does not mean real-time alerts for this medicine have been searched in every country or region, or that the medicine has a new alert, recall or risk conclusion. Match brand, generic name, dosage form, strength, market and notice date item by item; do not self-stop, switch, increase or reduce use from a headline.

For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, loss of consciousness or another emergency, use local emergency services. Do not wait for an online alert search or change a medicine from this page.

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about LIALDA (mesalamine delayed-release tablets). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    LIALDA is the brand in this record and mesalamine delayed-release tablets is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (LIALDA is a mesalamine delayed-release tablet whose coat begins to break down at about pH 6.8 or above, followed by extended release. ASACOL HD, PENTASA, APRISO, DELZICOL, suppositories, enemas and products from different manufacturers are separate exact products and cannot be self-interchanged by a shared ingredient or total milligrams.) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

MARKET DOCUMENTS · READ SEPARATELY

Enlarged market leaflets and regulator documents

Each link retains its own market, date, dosage form and document status. These documents support larger-print reading and item-by-item checking; they do not make products, strengths, packs, indications or use between countries or regions interchangeable.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

Release design: a pH-dependent coat does not make mesalamine products interchangeable

  • A shared ingredient does not mean the same release site, form, strength, excipients or label. ASACOL HD, PENTASA, APRISO, DELZICOL and rectal products require separate checks.
  • If intact or partial tablet-shell material is seen, swallowing is difficult or a new pack arrives, keep the pack and ask a professional; do not crush, soak or switch form yourself.
  • Disease activity, symptom change, test results and kidney function require integrated clinical review. Release design does not replace follow-up or determine an individual's tablet count, course, stopping or switching.

How to read this record

Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.

RECORD FAQ

Record questions

Does 1.2 g mean one tablet each time?

No. 1.2 g is only the amount per tablet; tablet count, frequency and course require the exact prescription and professional review.

Can another mesalamine product be switched by total milligrams?

Do not self-switch. Release design, form, strength and labelling may differ; have a doctor or pharmacist compare both actual packs or official labels.
