Pentasa Enema (mesalamine) is an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory drug predominantly used to treat ulcerative colitis when present in the lower portion of the large intestine. Patients sometimes buy Pentasa Enema to treat similar conditions in the lower bowel; this medication is not ideal for conditions elsewhere, such as the stomach or upper intestines.

As the name suggests, this medication is administered by enema, a fluid delivered to the rectum. Pentasa Suppositories, which are a solid rather than a liquid, are also available. Both medications soothe inflammation and reduce pain, irritation, and other symptoms.

Administration directly to the rectum may sound a little unpleasant, but it is the most effective treatment method as it delivers the medication directly to the problem area. It is a fairly common treatment method for lower bowel disorders, and most patients quickly get used to it.

For those disinclined to buy Pentasa Enema or suppositories, the medication is also available in tablets or sachets. Keep in mind, however, that these formulations may be a bit less effective on conditions in the lower bowel.

Treatment Overview

This medication is ideally administered once per day at bedtime. Patients should prepare for bed and empty the bowels before use. After the medication is administered the patient will ideally stay in bed, sleeping through the night.

Those who are buying Pentasa Enema for the first time may want to use a protective covering the first few days; patients will have the urge to evacuate the medication after it's administered, and without practice this urge can be very difficult to overcome. The majority of patients have no issues holding it in after the first few days of use. The urge to pass usually lasts only 5 or 10 minutes.

Pentasa enema can be used during flare-ups or as a long-term maintenance treatment. Use differs a little between the two.

As a maintenance treatment:

• Empty the bowels and prepare for bed.
• Lie on the left side with the right leg a little forward for balance. Lying on the left side helps the medication move down the bowel.
• Insert the tip of the enema and steadily squeeze until emptied.
• Relax in the same position for the next 5 or 10 minutes until the urge to pass the enema has gone.
• Sleep through the night if possible.

During a flare-up, ideally patients will stick to the above schedule as much as possible. Unfortunately it's often not possible, in which case small amounts of the medication administered throughout the day will still provide some benefit; administer only a small amount of the enema instead of the whole vial. A single vial can be used multiple times through the day, though it should be discarded at the end of the day even if some remains.

Other tips to make using Pentasa Enema a little easier:

• The enema can be warmed by placing the bottle in warm water prior to administration.
• The tip can be covered with lubrication if needed.
• A garbage can near the bed will make disposing of used enemas easy without getting up.
• If using multiple partial doses, be sure to store the partially-used enema in the foil bag it came in to protect it from light and contamination.

Patients who buy Pentasa Enema often ask how quickly it works; it's difficult to say. Some notice improvements within the first few days, while others need to wait about 2 weeks. For some it takes about a month. To some extent it depends on how it's administered; a whole dose at bedtime works faster than small doses throughout the day.

Treatment typically lasts at least 6 weeks, sometimes for much longer.

Precautions

Patients should discuss risks and warning signs with a doctor before buying Pentasa Enema if there is a history of:

• Severe liver issues
• Severe kidney issues
• Allergy to aspirin

More common side effects are mild and often similar to symptoms of the condition itself, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. These are not cause for concern unless severe or persistant. Patients may also experience rectal itching and discomfort after administering a dose, as well as the urge to pass the medication for several moments.

Though quite rare, some patients develop severe side effects. Seek emergency medical attention if experiencing:

• Severe stomach pain
• Bloody diarrhea
• Severe headache
• High fever
• Unexplained bleeding
• Allergic reaction (hives, swelling of limbs or face, difficulty breathing, rapid or erratic heartbeat)

The effects of this medication on children as well as unborn or nursing infants are unclear. Do not buy Pentasa Enema for young patients without explicit doctor approval, and discuss risks carefully with a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
