Sulfasalazine tablets are an oral anti-inflammatory medication used to help manage symptoms of ulcerative colitis by reducing inflammation in the digestive tract. They may also be prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis to help decrease joint pain, swelling, and stiffness as part of a long-term treatment plan. Sulfasalazine works as a disease-modifying agent to support ongoing symptom control when used consistently. This medication should be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare provider, as side effects such as nausea, headache, or stomach upset may occur.
