Which drug?
- Absorption in colon is extremely low
- Undergoes N-acetylation in gut epithelium & liver –> metabolite –> excreted in kidneys
- Has no anti-inflammatory activity
5-ASA
- Sulfasalazine
- Olsalazine
- Balsalazide
- Mesalamine
Which drug?
- Modulates inflammatory mediators derived from cyclooxygenase & lipoxygenase pathways
- Interferes w/ production of inflammatory cytokines (inhibits nuclear factor k-b)
- Inhibit cellular functions of natural killer cells, lymphocytes, & macrophages. Scavenge reactive oxygen metabolites
5-ASA
- Sulfasalazine
- Olsalazine
- Balsalazide
- Mesalamine
Folate should be taken with which 2 drugs?
- 5-ASA (Sulfasalazine)
- Methotrexate (immunosuppressives) – reduces ADEs
ADE of which drug?
- “slow acetylator” –> worse SE
Sulfasalazine (sulfapyridine)
(5-ASA)
ADE of which drug?
- Rash
- anemia
- pneumonitis
- hepatotoxicity
- thrombocytopenia
- lymphoma
- OLIGOSPERMIA (reversible)
Sulfasalazine (5-ASA)
ADE of which drug?
