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.
