I've been on Mesalamine 400mg DR Capsules for a few months now to manage my ulcerative colitis. The medication has been a game-changer in reducing the inflammation in my colon, but I've also experienced some side effects that I think are worth discussing. I've noticed some mild stomach pain and occasional diarrhea, but nothing too severe. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or has tips on managing these side effects. Also, I've heard about some serious side effects like kidney problems and allergic reactions. How common are these, and what should we be watching out for? Let's share our stories and support each other.

I've been on Mesalamine for about a year now, and it's been a lifesaver. I had some initial issues with constipation, but my doctor adjusted the dosage, and it cleared up. Just make sure to stay hydrated and eat plenty of fiber. Also, keep an eye on any signs of kidney issues. It's rare, but better safe than sorry.

I noticed some blood in my urine and was freaking out, but it turned out to be a kidney stone. Just a bit of bad luck, but it's a good reminder to watch out for any unusual symptoms. Definitely talk to your doctor if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

I've been on Mesalamine for a few months and have experienced mild nausea and headaches. I'm not sure if it's the medication or something else, but it's manageable. I've also had a few episodes of severe pain, but nothing my doc didn't think was a normal response to the medication. It's definitely improved my flare-ups.

I switched to Delzicol from a different brand and noticed a significant difference in how my body responds. It’s designed to release the medication directly in the colon, which has definitely helped with my symptoms. Just be patient as it can take a bit to find the right dosage.

I’ve heard Delzicol is pricey. Has anyone found a cheaper alternative or any good coupon deals?

I had some issues with feeling really tired and weak, which was a bit concerning. I talked to my doctor, and we figured out it was related to the Mesalamine. Adjusting my diet and getting more rest helped a lot. Just remember, everyone’s experience can be different.

I’m glad to see so many people sharing their experiences. It’s always helpful to know we’re not alone in this. I’ve been on Mesalamine for a few months, and it’s been a game-changer, but the side effects are something to keep an eye on. Just be proactive with your health and listen to your body.

I had a really bad experience with Mesalamine. I developed a severe rash and had to stop taking it. I’ve been wondering if anyone else has had similar allergic reactions or if this is just an unlucky fluke.
