Please be aware of the new safety information regarding mesalazine medication. More information can be found on the link at the bottom.
- there have been very rare reports of increased pressure within your skull known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in some patients receiving mesalazine
- IIH is not normally life threatening; however, in rare cases can cause serious vision problems which must be monitored and treated where possible
- tell your doctor immediately if you experience progressively more severe and recurrent headache, disturbed vision, ringing or buzzing in the ears, back pain, dizziness, or neck pain, as these could be symptoms of IIH
