Sulfasalazine

Sulfasalazine is a medication used primarily to treat inflammatory conditions of the digestive system, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, as well as rheumatoid arthritis. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system's response, helping to relieve symptoms like pain, swelling, and diarrhea. The drug is composed of two parts that work together: one to target the colon and the other to reduce inflammation. It’s usually taken orally and requires medical supervision to monitor for side effects, which can include allergic reactions or gastrointestinal issues.
