Canasa Tablet 400 mg contains Mesalazine (5-Aminosalicylic Acid), a locally acting anti-inflammatory medication used primarily in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Mesalazine works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, helping control symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and urgency.

Mesalazine belongs to the class of aminosalicylates and is structurally related to aspirin. It exerts its therapeutic effect by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, in the intestinal mucosa. Canasa Tablet 400 mg is formulated for oral administration, allowing targeted delivery to the colon and rectum for effective local anti-inflammatory action.
