Sulfasalazine EC
Sulfasalazine EC (enteric-coated) is a medication used in the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, as well as for rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anti-inflammatory agents. Sulfasalazine helps to reduce inflammation and pain in both diseases. The enteric-coated form is designed to prevent the medication from breaking down in the stomach, which decreases stomach upset.
How is this medication used?
The medication should be taken with a full glass of water, after meals or with food to prevent stomach upset. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing closely. Do not crush, chew, or break the enteric-coated tablets because this could destroy the coating.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, loss of appetite, and rash. More serious side effects can include liver damage, severe skin reactions, infections, and blood disorders. It is important to contact your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.
What are the potential interactions?
Sulfasalazine may interact with medications such as digoxin, folic acid, warfarin, and methotrexate. It can also interact with certain antibiotics and diabetes medications. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
