Abstract
Mesalamine (5-ASA) has been the mainstay therapy of mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis both as an induction and maintenance treatment. Multimatrix system (MMX) 5-ASA is a recently developed formulation of 5-ASA allowing for slow and gradual release of 5-ASA throughout the entire colon. This review article discusses the structure, pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of this new 5-ASA formulation.
