Pharmacological action: Sulfasalazine selectively accumulates in the connective tissue of the intestine with the release of 5-aminosalicylic acid, which has anti-inflammatory activity, and sulfapyridine, which has an antimicrobial effect.

Pharmacokinetics:absorption of Sulfasalazine is poorly absorbed in the intestine (not more than 10%). Is subjected to cleavage by intestinal microflora with the formation of 60-80% of sulfapyridine and 25% of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA).RASPREDELENIYa plasma protein is: for sulfasalazina - 99% for sulfapyridine - 50%, 5-ask - 43%.Metabolism liver sulfapiridin biotransformiroetsa mainly by acetylation, 5-ASA by acetylation. Breeding T1/2 sulfasalazine is 5-10 h, sulfapyridine - 6-14 h, 5-ASA - 0.6-1.4 h. The feces derived 5% of sulfapiridina and 67% 5-ask 75-91% sulfasalazine excreted by the kidneys within 3 days.

Overdose: Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness.Treatment: gastric lavage, forced diuresis symptomatic therapy.

Drug interaction: While the use of Sulfasalazine reduces the absorption of folic acid and digoxin.With the simultaneous use of Sulfasalazine enhances the action of anticoagulants and sulfonylurea derivatives.With the simultaneous use of Sulfasalazine and antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of Sulfasalazine, because antibiotics have a depressing effect on the intestinal flora.

Terms and conditions of storage: the Drug should be stored out of reach of children at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. do Not use the drug after the expiration date indicated on the package.
