To @Rafa 1111:
If your doctor has recommended taking Pentasa at night, 2-3 hours after dinner, this dosage is acceptable and should not affect the effects of the drug, although this is a different recommendation than given in the leaflet.
The doctor has the right to use the drug on the basis of his or her best knowledge and experience, and not on the basis of the manufacturer's indications. It is also a common practice. We wrote more about it here:

If this situation raises doubts for you, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to take advantage of the advice, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:

Regarding the second question, according to the current medical literature, there should be no interaction between Pentasa and the Intensa Max supplement.
Hello
So I understand correctly that if the doctor recommended pentase granules the night before bedtime, i.e. (2-3 hours) after dinner, and not as it is in the leaflet after eating, it has no effect on the effect?
Can intensa max also be taken from pentas? On the leaflet it is also written after eating

Yes, you understand correctly. Dosage of 3 x 1 g means taking the drug every 6 hours with a night break.
For granules, it should be taken on an empty stomach. Administration of the drug with a meal does not affect the passage and release of Pentasa , but affects its absorption.
Through the gdziepolek.pl service, you can check the availability of Pentasa and book it at the pharmacy of your choice:
