These effects are generally temporary and should subside as the body adjusts to the medication. If severe or persistent, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider.

What precautions apply to Mesalamine?

Rowasa 4 g/60mL should be used with caution in individuals with known allergies to mesalamine or other ingredients in the suspension. It is important to follow the prescribed administration instructions to ensure proper use. Keep the medication out of reach of children and store it as directed to maintain its effectiveness.
