About this item
Product details
Sulfasalazine is a prodrug that, upon metabolism in the colon, breaks down into sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). Its mechanism of action involves both anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. The 5-ASA component reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways, which decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Additionally, it scavenges free radicals that contribute to inflammation. Sulfasalazine is used to treat bowel inflammation, diarrhea (stool frequency), rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain in patients with ulcerative colitis, a condition in which the bowel is inflamed. Composition Each delayed release tablet contains: Sulfasalazine: 500 mg Directions for Use As recommended by a registered medical practitioner.
