    Hi Jeanette.

    i think you probably means sulphsalazine .  Some people take it with no problems at all and some have side effects.  I took it for a while and initially it worked well but then I started having more pain. I take methotrexate and a biologic drug. Persevere with it and if you do get side effects tell your rheumatology nurse and they will look at the situation again. Hope it works for you and good luck.

      If it's sulphsalzine, I've been on it for years with no problem so far.
