    Indications

    Zulfidin is indicated in:

    Rheumatoid arthritis & Juvenile arthritis: In the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and pediatiric patients with polyarticular-course juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, who have responded inadequately to salicylates or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

    Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease: As adjunct in the treatment of ulcerative colitis with the usual supportive and dietary measures. In the treatment of active Crohn's disease, especially in patients with colonic involvement.

    Pharmacology

    The mode of action of Sulfasalazine is still under investigation, but may be related to the anti inflammatory and/or immunomodulatory properties that have been observed in animal and in vitro models, to its affinity for connective tissue, and/or to the relatively high concentration it reaches in serous fluids, the liver and intestinal walls, as demonstrated in autoradiographic studies in animals. In ulcerative colitis, clinical studies utilizing rectal administration of Sulfasalazine, Sulfapyridine and 5-Aminosalyclic Acid have indicated that the major therapeutic action may reside in the 5-Aminosalyclic Acid moiety. The relative contribution of the parent drug and the major metabolites in rheumatoid arthritis is unknown.

    Dosage & Administration

    The dosage of Sulfasalazine tablets should be individually adjusted according to the patient's tolerance and response to the treatment and taken in evenly divided doses preferably after meals.
