Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
LIALDA (mesalamine) is a medication prescribed to treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBD can manifest in two different ways, including Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). CD affects both the small and large intestines, while UC only affects the large intestine.
IBD is an autoimmune disease where parts of the gastrointestinal tract are abnormally inflamed. Inflammation is when cells become swollen and they recruit immune cells to the site. The inflammation process reduces the intestinal cells’ ability to absorb nutrients from food and also can cause symptoms of constipation or diarrhea.
LIALDA works by inhibiting two types of signaling molecules used by the immune system to activate inflammation, prostaglandins, and cyclooxygenases. By inhibiting these chemical signals, LIALDA helps to reduce inflammation and resolve symptoms of IBD.
Take LIALDA exactly as prescribed by your doctor. LIALDA generic is mesalamine, but all brands and generic versions are different. Each contains different formulations of mesalamine and are not interchangeable.
The usual LIALDA dosage is 2.4 g to 4.8 by mouth once daily with food. The usual duration of LIALDA treatment is 8 weeks but may be longer or shorter depending on your disease characteristics and needs.
The active ingredient in LIALDA is mesalamine.
Patients who have pyloric stenosis should use caution when taking LIALDA because mesalamine may release more slowly in the colon, decreasing drug efficacy.
Tell your doctor if you have a history of cardiovascular disease, as LIALDA can lead to hypersensitivity reactions like myocarditis and pericarditis.
Speak with your doctor if you have a history of kidney (renal) issues before starting LIALDA.
Some of the most common side effects of LIALDA include:
