Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Mesagon Tablet PR may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Mesagon Tablet PR is an aminosalicylate that works by suppressing the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation (swelling) in the intestines. This reduces ulceration, bleeding, and stomach pain, and prevents future flare-ups of the disease.
