Key Information about Gastro-Resistant Sulfasalazine Tablets BP 500mg:

Active Ingredients:

• Sulfasalazine (500 mg) is the active ingredient in the tablet. It is a prodrug, meaning it is not fully active until it is metabolized in the colon. After absorption in the small intestine, sulfasalazine is broken down into 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine in the colon. 5-ASA is the active component responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects, while sulfapyridine is less active and has some side effects that may contribute to adverse reactions in some patients.
