Olsalazine Sodium(Cat No.:A000552)is an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis. It is a prodrug that, once ingested, is converted into two molecules of mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid) in the colon. Mesalazine works by reducing inflammation in the lining of the intestines, helping to alleviate symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Olsalazine Sodium is particularly useful in maintaining remission in patients with ulcerative colitis, providing long-term control with minimal side effects compared to corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs.
