    Frequently asked Questions about Sulfasalazine

    Question almost 6 years ago

    How does Sulfasalazine work?

    Dr. Anand Singh MBBS , General Physician

    Sulfasalazine contains sulfasalazine which starts working when it is metabolized into sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA or Mesalamine) by the body. These active components specifically mesalamine prevents the synthesis of chemical messengers (leukotrienes) by inhibiting an enzyme (lipoxygenase) that causes inflammation.
