Clinical Trials: Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of sulfasalazine in inducing and maintaining remission in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. A study published in the Journal of Gastroenterology showed that sulfasalazine was effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Warnings: It is important to monitor blood counts regularly while taking sulfasalazine, as it can affect the blood cells. Inform your doctor of any signs of infection or bleeding.
