Drug Details
Balsalazide, also known by the brand name Colazal, is a medication used to treat mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis in individuals aged 5 years and older. This drug belongs to the aminosalicylate class and is effective in reducing symptoms such as diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and stomach pain by decreasing inflammation in the colon. It works by blocking the production of inflammatory proteins and chemicals in the gut, thereby alleviating inflammation. Balsalazide is typically available in 750 mg capsules, with the recommended dosage for adults being three capsules taken orally three times daily. For children, the dosage can be either one or three capsules, three times a day. Common side effects may include stomach pain and diarrhea. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
