See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Mesalamine
Mesalamine (also called 5-aminosalicylic acid, or 5-ASA) is sold under multiple brand names, depending on the exact formulation (for example, delayed-release vs. extended-release vs. rectal forms) and the country.
Common mesalamine brands people search for

- Asacol HD

- Delzicol
- Pentasa
- Lialda
- Canasa
Which brand is right depends on the product type
Mesalamine comes in different forms used for different parts of the gut, and the brand name is tied to that formulation. Typical categories include:
- Oral delayed-release tablets or capsules (often for mild to moderate ulcerative colitis)
- Oral extended-release (designed to release later in the colon)
- Rectal suppositories or enemas (often for distal ulcerative colitis)
If you mean a specific country or formulation
Brand names vary by country and by the exact mesalamine product. If you tell me the country (or share the label wording like “ER,” “DR,” “suppository,” or “enema”), I can narrow it to the specific mesalamine brand that matches.
