Safety and effectiveness of Canasa Mesalamine-induced acute intolerance syndrome [See Warnings and beyond 6 weeks have not been established. Hypersensitivity reactions [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
 Hepatic impairment, including hepatic failure [See Warnings and The dosage of CANASA 1000 mg suppositories is one rectal suppository The suppository should be retained for one to three hours or longer, if possible. The usual course of therapy is from three to six weeks depending on 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, If a patient misses a dose of CANASA, it should be administered as adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be soon as possible, unless it is almost time for next dose. Patients should not use directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not two CANASA suppositories at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Mesalamine
CANASA suppositories are contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated hypersensitivity to mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid) or to the suppository vehicle [saturated vegetable fatty acid esters (Hard Fat, NF)], or to salicylates (including aspirin) [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3), Adverse Reactions (6.2), and Description (11)]. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Renal Impairment
Renal impairment, including minimal change nephropathy, acute and chronic interstitial nephritis, and, rarely, renal failure, has been reported in In a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel group study patients given products such as CANASA that contain mesalamine or are comparing the CANASA 1000 mg suppository administered nightly to that of converted to mesalamine. It is recommended that patients have an evaluation the CANASA 500 mg suppository twice daily, the two treatment groups had of renal function prior to initiation of CANASA therapy and periodically similar adverse event profiles. The most frequent AEs were headache while on therapy. Exercise caution when using CANASA in patients with (14.4%), flatulence (5.2%), abdominal pain (5.2%), diarrhea (3.1%), and known renal dysfunction or a history of renal disease. In animal studies, the nausea (3.1%). Three (3) patients had to discontinue medication because of an kidney was the principal organ for toxicity [See Drug Interactions (7.1) and adverse reaction; one of these adverse reactions (headache) was deemed 5.2 Mesalamine-Induced Acute Intolerance Syndrome
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
Mesalamine has been associated with an acute intolerance syndrome that In addition to the adverse reactions reported above in clinical trials may be difficult to distinguish from an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis. involving CANASA, the adverse reactions listed below have been identified Although the exact frequency of occurrence has not been determined, it has during post-approval use of CANASA and other mesalamine-containing occurred in 3% of patients in controlled clinical trials of mesalamine or products.

In a 14-day rectal toxicity study of mesalamine suppositories in rabbits, intra-rectal doses up to 800 mg/kg (about 8.6 times the recommended human intra-rectal dose, based on body surface area) was not associated with any adverse effects. In a six-month oral toxicity study in dogs, doses of 80 mg/kg (about 1.4 times the recommended human intra-rectal dose, based on body surface area) and higher caused renal pathology similar to that described for the rat. In a rectal toxicity study of mesalamine suppositories in dogs, a dose of 166.6 mg/kg (about 3.0 times the recommended human intra-rectal dose, based on body surface area) produced chronic nephritis and pyelitis.
