What is Canasa?

Canasa is an FDA-approved rectal medication that is used to treat mild to moderate ulcerative proctitis. Proctitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the inner lining of the rectum. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. Canasa is an anti-inflammatory drug that helps reduce irritation and swelling in the colon. Canasa is not a cure for ulcerative proctitis, but it may decrease rectal bleeding and the amount of mucus in the stool, as well as the number of stools.

The generic version of Canasa, mesalamine, is also available in different brand names, such as Lialda. Lialda is approved to treat ulcerative colitis. Canasa is administered as a 1000 mg suppository in the rectum at bedtime for 3 to 6 weeks.

What doses of Canasa are available?

Canasa is only available as a 1,000 mg rectal suppository. Consult your doctor before using Canasa to ensure that you're using the correct dosage. If a rectal suppository does not fit your lifestyle or medical needs, ask your doctor about Lialda, which is an oral tablet with the same active ingredient as Canasa. He or she can determine which treatment is best for you depending on your condition.
