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

• Anti-inflammatory action: Sulfasalazine reduces inflammation throughout the body, particularly in the intestines and joints, by blocking substances called prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling.

• Immune system modulation: The medicine affects your immune system by reducing its overactivity in conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.

• Intestinal activity: In the large intestine, bacteria break down sulfasalazine into two components: sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). The 5-ASA component works directly on the intestinal lining to reduce inflammation.

• Joint protection: By modifying immune responses and inhibiting inflammatory mediators in the body, sulfasalazine helps slow down joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions.

• Store Sulzane-DS Tablet at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep in original packaging away from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Store out of children's reach.

• Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the package.

• For inflammatory bowel conditions: Maintain adequate fluid intake (at least 8 glasses of water daily) to support kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney-related side effects.

• For rheumatoid arthritis: Include anti-inflammatory foods in your diet, such as fatty fish, olive oil, and colourful fruits and vegetables, to complement the medicine's action on joint inflammation.
