Re: Sulfasalazine/Azulfidine any information?

[Guest guest]

Hello. I am not familiar with this but have found

some info that might help. Azulfidine is the brand

name - sulfasalazine is the generic name. You might

try this site.

Http://www.webmd.com/hw/Rheumatoid Arthritis/ad19103.asp

I don't know if that is correct? Try yoour browser

for either one the web md one was pretty good! Good

luck and I'm sorry I don't know more. It is winter

time and a lot of us are flaring so please be patient

and I am sure someone with more info will get back to

you!!! Hang in there and take care. Kim

I took this drug for several years for RA, I was told at the time it should

help with pain and inflammation, and it did make a difference. I never noticed

ant side affects, If I remember correctly I took 500 mg a day.

The rheumatologist wants to prescribe me sulfasalazine/azulfidine.

I'm curious to know if anyone here takes this drug, and if so, has it

helped you and what side effects did you have?

Thanks.
