Overview

Salofalk 500mg GR Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Mesalazine 500mg as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Swallow Salofalk 500mg GR Tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew, crush, or break the tablet, as the gastro-resistant coating protects the medicine from stomach acid so that it is released further along the bowel where the inflammation occurs. Tablets are usually taken with meals, spread evenly through the day as directed by your doctor.

Dosage

The usual dose of Salofalk 500mg GR Tablet for active ulcerative colitis is 1.5-3g daily in divided doses, with maintenance doses often lower once remission is achieved. Your doctor will individualise the dose and duration of treatment based on disease severity and response.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions
