Sulfasalazine is also known as a disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), because it not only decreases the pain and swelling of arthritis, but also may prevent damage to joints. In addition, it may reduce the risk of long term loss of function.ulfasalazine is a DMARD. DMARDs work to decrease pain and inflammation, reduce/prevent joint damage, and preserve joint mobility. So, Sulfasalazine treats swelling, pain and stiffness in arthritis.
Sulfasalazine (brand name Azulfidine in the U.S. , Salazopyrin and Sulazine in Europe and Hong Kong) was developed in the 1950s specifically to treat rheumatoid arthritis.It was believed at the time that bacterial infections were the cause of rheumatoid arthritis.Sulfasalazine is a sulfa drug, a derivative of mesalazine, and is formed by combining sulfapyridine and salicylate with an azo coupling.he use of sulfasalazine in inflammatory bowel disease has declined due mainly to the fact that it yields the metabolite sulfapyridine which gives rise to side-effects such as agranulocytosis and hypospermia.
