Ulcerative colitis (UC) can be maintained in remission with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) medications, but frequent non-adherence by patients who are feeling well has been associated with more frequent flares of colitis. To perform a systematic review of the published literature

5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) preparations (eg, mesalazine, mesalamine) are well-established preparations used in the management of inflammatory bowel disease. These drugs are most useful for the treatment of mild to moderate flares of ulcerative colitis and, especially, for maintenance of remission.

To evaluate the effectiveness of pH 6-/pH 7-dependent and controlled-release mesalazines in maintaining medically and surgically induced Crohn's disease remission. A systematic search identified 13 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The rate of symptomatic relapse (Crohn's disease activity index >150, or

Sulfasalazine's role as the first-line of therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease has led to the development of other "designer" aminosalicylates, which eliminate the sulfa-moiety, and attempt to target the topically active mesalamine to the inflamed bowel. Olsalazine sodium
Alexander C Ford et al.

Maintenance therapy with 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) is recommended in patients with quiescent ulcerative colitis (UC), but compliance rates are low. Once-daily dosing may improve adherence, but impact on the relapse of disease activity is unclear as no previous meta-analysis has studied
