Benefits of Salazar DS Tablet

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

How Salazar DS Tablet works

Sulfasalazine reaches the colon where gut bacteria split it into 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine. 5-ASA reduces intestinal inflammation, while sulfapyridine contributes to immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory effects useful in rheumatoid arthritis.

How to take Salazar DS Tablet

Take as prescribed, usually after food with plenty of water. Swallow the delayed-release tablet whole; do not crush or chew. Maintain adequate hydration and follow the dosing schedule regularly.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
