Overview

Salazopyrin 500mg Tablets (112 pack) from Pfizer contain sulfasalazine, a medicine that both calms inflammation in the bowel and acts as a disease-modifying treatment for certain types of arthritis. In ulcerative colitis (and some Crohn's disease), it reduces inflammation in the lining of the gut to control symptoms and help maintain remission. In rheumatoid arthritis and related joint conditions, it works over weeks to months to slow the disease and reduce joint damage. A long-established, doctor-prescribed treatment helping people manage inflammatory bowel disease or inflammatory arthritis.

Active: Sulfasalazine 500mg per tablet.

Directions for Use

This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. The dose is usually started low and increased gradually, taken in divided doses through the day after food, swallowed whole with plenty of water. It works slowly, particularly for arthritis, so it may take some weeks to feel the benefit; keep taking it regularly. Do not stop without advice, and attend the regular blood tests your doctor arranges.

Regular blood tests are needed, as sulfasalazine can occasionally affect the blood cells, liver or kidneys. Tell your doctor promptly about sore throat, fever, unusual bruising or bleeding, yellowing of the skin or a rash. Drink plenty of fluids. It can harmlessly turn urine and skin an orange-yellow colour and may stain soft contact lenses. It can lower folate (your doctor may advise a supplement) and, in men, temporarily reduce fertility. Tell your doctor about aspirin/sulfa allergy. Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding only on advice. Store below 30°C.
