Benefits of Saaz-DS Tablet

In Digestive problems
Saaz-DS relieves the digestive symptom it was prescribed for, whether that is loose motions, cramps, bloating or an unsettled stomach.
In Loose motions
Saaz-DS slows the gut or restores its balance, so stools become formed again and the urgency and cramping settle.
In Restoring gut bacteria
Saaz-DS replaces the helpful bacteria the gut loses during diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, helping digestion settle sooner.
In Stomach protection
Saaz-DS coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.

How Saaz-DS Tablet works

Sulfasalazine is broken down in the colon to 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine. 5-ASA reduces inflammation in the bowel lining, while sulfapyridine contributes to immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory effects useful in rheumatoid arthritis.
