Description
Indications
Sulfasalazine is used to treat ulcerative colitis and also to maintain improvement of ulcerative colitis symptoms. This medication is also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis in adults whose disease has not responded well to other medications or could not be tolerated. Sulfasalazine is in a class of medications called anti-inflammatory drugs. It works by reducing inflammation (swelling) inside the body.
Uses and Dosage
Sulfasalazine is available in both regular and delayed-release tablets. The delayed-release tablets are designed to release the medication in the intestine, preventing stomach irritation and ensuring the medication works in the intestine where its effects are needed. Typically, it is taken 3 to 6 times a day with evenly spaced doses, making sure that no more than 8 hours elapse between any two doses, if possible.
For the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, sulfasalazine delayed-release tablets are usually taken twice a day with evenly spaced doses throughout the day. Take sulfasalazine after a meal or with a light snack, followed by a full glass of water.
Take sulfasalazine precisely as directed, avoiding taking more or less of it or increasing the frequency beyond your doctor’s prescription.
When taking delayed-release tablets, swallow them whole; do not crush or chew.
You need to stay well-hydrated while taking sulfasalazine, so drink plenty of fluids.
Continue taking sulfasalazine even if you feel well. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor.

Inactive ingredients in the product may trigger allergic reactions or other issues.
Share your medical history with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have a history of intestinal or urinary blockage, kidney disease, liver disease, blood disorders, a certain genetic condition (G6PD deficiency), asthma, severe allergies, or current/recent/returning infections.
This medication may cause dizziness. Alcohol or marijuana can exacerbate dizziness. Refrain from driving, using machinery, or engaging in activities that require alertness until you can do so safely.
Sulfasalazine may increase sun sensitivity. Restrict your time in the sun, avoid tanning booths and sunlamps, and use sunscreen along with protective clothing outdoors. Seek medical attention promptly if you experience sunburn or skin blisters/redness.
As this medication is similar to aspirin, children and teenagers under 18 years old should avoid aspirin or aspirin-related medications if they have chickenpox, flu, any undiagnosed illness, or have recently received a live virus vaccine (such as varicella vaccine), without consulting a doctor due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but serious illness.
Sulfasalazine may temporarily affect male fertility. Consult your doctor for more information.
During pregnancy, use this medication only when necessary. Use caution if close to the expected delivery date, as similar drugs may harm a newborn. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. If you become pregnant while taking this drug, contact your doctor immediately.
