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.
