I have been on this for 21 years ; no problems taking this; there is a precaution to avoid excessive sun although I have never had any problem; it does change the color of your urine to a bright color ; I have taken it while pregnant but had to wean down prior to delivery for clotting purposes; I also nursed my baby for 3 months while on it and no problems for either one of us.

There are countless pills to take. It never ends. The pills also turn my skin yellow when direct contact is made (i.e. hand).

The pills are very hard to swallow. Perhaps if they came in a capsule I would be able to keep more down.

Aloe Vera Juice will control Ulcerative Colitis, can be purchased at walmart, meijers, less than $8.00 a gallon. This is a fact!!! When it's under control, Do Not quit drinking the juice or it will come back... it is also good for stomach acid and stomach ulcers... Believe it or not it does work...

Unfortunately I experienced an early stage of Steven Johnsons syndrome,one of the rare side effects. It took a month of treatment to have the severe allergic reaction and since I had eaten shrimp when the allergy developed the SJ was overlooked. I started the treatment again only to have SJ symptoms show after only one week with azulfidine. My advice if you need to take this drug is to keep beware of any rash or sign. Even when you aren't allergic you can develop a sulfa allergy.

In combination with 600mg Plaquenil, the 1000mg of Azulfidine a day hasn't improved my SLE symptoms at all.

Now I only have a couple flare-ups per year. The duration of each flare-up is much shorter. This medication also helped my IBS. Personal side effect: Very sensitive to sun.

I take this for Chronic Hives. It has enabled me to stop taking prednizone after 14 years. I encourage anyone suffering from chronic hives to try it, it has given me my life back!

diagnosed w/ ulcerative colitus, later Crohn's, age 62. started sulfasalazine and have had no problems with the disease. Also, at age 76, I play tennis 3x weekly (4.0) and have fewer aches and pains than the 40-50 something women with whom I play. I think the drug is responsible. I experienced no side effects.
