User Reviews for sulfasalazine oral

before taking Sulfasalazine, I was in severe pain with every step taken. I was diagnosed with angolosing spondilitis, which means stiff spine. It is what makes people with this disease bend over and their spine stays bent. My problem is more in my sacrum but may advance to my spine. Sulfasalazine takes the pain away and I`m able to walk and stand up straight.I have my blood tested every three months and I`ve benn on it since Nov. 07. I hope this helps someone.

Peeling of the skin on finger tips, accompanied with painful cracks and bleeding.

Effective at low dose for 3 years, but now at 5 years at max dose no longer very effective. Also, it effects birth control pills.

Pain in my heel and tingling toes. Overall this medication is great I haven't had a flare up since I started the meds.

Exstreme tiredness, muscle pain/weakness, headache & dizziness associated with fever and chills. I have been on sulfasalazine for two months. I feel worse then I did when I was going through a flare up.

I had rectal bleeding for over 10 years and tried asacol, prednisone and salofalk. This medication was the only one that stop the bleeding. I also have ankylosing spondylitis and this medication is fantastic

I have been using this for 30 years without side effects other than deep yellow urine. Increases the time between crohn's disease attacks. Inexpensive. 2000mg am, 2000mg pm.

I notice almost immediate improvement. I find that having to take it after meals and with alot of liquid to be a pain and I have ringing in my ears for more than a month after finishing my dosage. BUT, the medicine works!

I felt much less pain and stiffness for about a year, but the drug lost effectiveness after 2 years and the inflammation flared up again. I have now switched to chloroquinine.

I switched from Asacol due to loss of insurance and the need to pay cash for meds. Overall, the side effects are quite dipilitating with constant low level nausea, headache, and fatigue. I'm also required to take tablets 4 times a day so compliance is a big issue. I hope I can get back on the Asacol soon, but I am at least thankful that a months supply of this drug is approx $60 versus the $400+ for Asacol.

having the erge for a bowl movement frequently.

easy to use, high price,change urine colour

feeling sickly

I have been on it for about a year. It has worked for the most part, but i still experience fatique and bruising because of the folic acid depletion, even with supplements.
