Carol, most people with RA are started off on this drug,hope it does you some good.
Hi Carol, I have been taking sulphsalazine for about a month in combination with methotrexate 20 mg a week and prednisone 15 mg a day. I have noticed improvement in that time but won't know if the sulphsalazine helped until I start rerducing the prednisone in a few weeks time.
thank you today i start this drug i felt better after the steroid injection on monday but i read about side affects this worrys me
thank you for this i do worry about side affects
