Saaz Ds 1000 mg tablet is primarily used to treat and manage autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. It also treats an inflammatory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease. It belongs to a class of anti-inflammatory medicine known as ‘aminosalicylates’.
This tablet works by reducing inflammation in the body. The medication's active ingredient, sulfasalazine, combines two components: sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). Sulfasalazine is a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD).
Sulfapyridine is an antibiotic that works by reducing the number of harmful bacteria in the intestines. 5-ASA is an anti-inflammatory medication that blocks the production of inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins.
While Saaz Ds tablets are safe and effective, they may cause side effects in some patients. These side effects are mild and subside on their own as the body responds to the medication.
Patients with certain medical conditions, like liver or kidney disease, blood disorders, or allergies to sulfa drugs, should talk to their healthcare provider before taking Saaz Ds 1000 tablets.
