Pentasa rectal suspension is indicated for the treatment of ulcerative colitis localized in the rectum and sigmoid colon.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease in which the lining of the intestine is inflamed and develops many small breaks in its surface (ulcers) that can bleed.

Pentasa contains the active substance mesalazine, which belongs to a group of medicines called intestinal anti-inflammatory agents that help reduce inflammation and painful symptoms.
