Salofalk EC Tablets (Mesalamine) are tablets taken orally and are used to maintain remission and for the treatment of mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis. While there is currently no cure for ulcerative colitis (UC), Salofalk EC Tablets (Mesalamine) are available to help reduce the inflammation and relieve symptoms, allowing the colon to heal. The goal of all ulcerative colitis medications is to help patients reach and maintain remission. Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation and sores, called ulcers, in the lining of the rectum and colon. Ulcers form where inflammation has killed the cells that usually line the colon, then bleed and produce pus. Inflammation in the colon also causes the colon to empty frequently, causing diarrhea. When the inflammation occurs in the rectum and lower part of the colon it is called ulcerative proctitis. If the entire colon is affected it is called pancolitis. If only the left side of the colon is affected it is called limited or distal colitis.
