Sulfasalazine
Sulfasalazine is a medication primarily used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to a class of drugs known as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and also has antibiotic properties. Sulfasalazine works by reducing inflammation and the immune response.
How is this medication used?
Sulfasalazine should be taken orally, typically after meals to reduce stomach upset. It is important to swallow the tablets whole, not crushed or chewed, and to follow the dosing schedule as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Adequate hydration is recommended to prevent kidney stones.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of sulfasalazine include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, and rash. More serious side effects can occur, such as severe allergic reactions, liver problems, kidney issues, or a decrease in white blood cell count, which could increase the risk of infections.
What are the potential interactions?
Sulfasalazine can interact with various medications, including digoxin, folic acid supplements, warfarin, and certain diabetes medications. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs you're taking to avoid adverse interactions. Alcohol consumption should be moderated, as it may increase the risk of liver damage.
