Salazar Tablet is taken orally.

Salazar Tablet contains sulfasalazine (500 mg) which works on the body in the following ways:

• Reduces Inflammation: Sulfasalazine acts by reducing inflammation in the body. It works locally in the intestines and helps manage inflammation caused by certain conditions.

• Inhibits Prostaglandins: Sulfasalazine is thought to inhibit the production of inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins. These are substances in the body that contribute to inflammation and pain.

• Splits into Two Components: After you take it, gut bacteria break sulfasalazine down into two components sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). The anti-inflammatory effects are mainly due to 5-ASA, while sulfapyridine may contribute to some side effects.

• Store your Salazar Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep it away from direct light, heat and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medication out of the reach of children for their safety.

• Make sure to use your Salazar Tablet before its expiry date.

• If you're managing an inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease with Salazar Tablet, consider including more fibre-rich foods in your diet as they can help manage symptoms like diarrhoea and abdominal pain.

• For arthritic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, engaging in regular low-impact exercises like walking or swimming can help reduce joint pain and stiffness.
