"In 1987, I was diagnosed with moderate ulcerative colitis. I had blood in my stool, constant diarrhea, and experienced weight loss - from 100 lbs. to 85 lbs. My new doctor prescribed Watson sulfasalazine. It worked and I experienced no side effects! I still take it, but in a smaller dosage - from 4 pills twice a day to 2 pills twice a day. The brand just changed to Teva USA. I have been in remission for about 25 years!"

"I was on another med that was new on market and is very expensive. I requested my doctor to prescribe an older, effective med that would be covered by my insurance. I've been taking this for 6–7 years, it's been working well and is covered. The only downside is I have to take it four times a day. That's not really bad but I do have to make sure to stay on schedule."

"I don't know if this is related to sulfasalazine but I am fatigued all the time; have to take naps every day. With that said, all of my symptoms with regard to the colitis have gone away. It is difficult to remember to take these pills 3 times a day as I never have to take any medication, but I am relieved that the symptoms I experienced for the first five or six months have pretty much been eliminated."

"At present, I am taking one tablet a day to keep my U.C. under control. I have had no unexpected side effects. This was an alternative to other drugs because of the vast price difference between Sulfasalazine and the other choices. Being on Medicare, I have to watch the costs of medications."

"I have taken it for so long, but considering stopping. I have been symptom-free for a few years. No side effects that I know of, but it has been years."
