Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
Assess renal function before treatment and periodically. Mesalamine-containing products have been associated with renal injury, including interstitial nephritis and renal failure. Evaluate the risk-benefit balance in patients with existing kidney disease or nephrotoxic concomitant therapy. The selected source does not provide a numeric CrCl-based regimen; its precaution should not be displayed as a no-adjustment finding.
