Sazo 1000 Tablet contains sulfasalazine (1000 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Reduces Inflammation: Sulfasalazine works primarily by reducing inflammation in your body. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or disease but can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort when it becomes chronic or out of control.

• Inhibits Prostaglandins Formation: Another vital function of sulfasalazine is inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins, chemicals that control inflammation. By reducing their production, it aids in managing various inflammatory conditions affecting your bowels, joints, and skin.

• Always remember to keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Ensure you use the Sazo 1000 Tablet before the expiry date stated on the package.

• For conditions like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, consider a diet high in fibre and low in fat. Consuming plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help manage your symptoms.

• If you're dealing with rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, regular low-impact exercises such as swimming or cycling can help maintain joint flexibility and reduce stiffness.
