Robust evidence regarding medical intervention for symptomatic uncomplicated colonic diverticular disease (DD) is sparse. To investigate mesalazine (Salofalk granules) in this setting. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, 6-week trial, patients were randomised to mesalazine 1000 mg three times daily or placebo.

Patients with long-standing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk for colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Earlier studies suggest that the severity of inflammation is an independent risk factor for CRC in ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated the role of histological

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.
