Lialda is a brand name for a specific formulation of mesalamine, which is a medication used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis. The primary difference between Lialda and other mesalamine formulations is the delivery mechanism; Lialda uses a multi-matrix system (MMX) to release the medication slowly throughout the colon. This allows for once-daily dosing, which can improve adherence compared to other mesalamine products that may require multiple doses per day.
