A 45-year-old woman presented to the hospital with bloody diarrhoea and significant weight loss over the past 1 month. On admission and evaluation, she was found to have acute ulcerative colitis. ⋯ After withdrawing mesalamine, her heart rate normalised within 24 hours and she remained symptom-free. This is a rare case report of severe symptomatic sinus bradycardia due to mesalamine therapy; to our knowledge, only four cases of mesalamine-induced bradycardia have been reported in the literature.
