As per doctor's recommendation my mother (age 63) is taking 6 tablets of Sazo 500 every day. She is suffering from acute bout of nausea which is one of the side effects of this medication. Please suggest a way to get rid of this nausea. Thanks ## Hello, Partha! How is your mother doing? Has she tried taking them with food, such as a meal, or small snack? That can often help prevent nausea. As reported by the FDA, it may also cause headache, dizziness and loss of appetite. Has she informed her doctor?

My wife has been suffering from arthritis (eg. ankle swelling and tenderness). Her weight is approx 70 kg. Would it be beneficial if she's prescribed Sazo 500 two times daily or are there any side effects she should be aware of? ## It may help, but she should only try it, if her doctor has instructed her to take it. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach irritation. Is she on any other medications?

Doctor prescribed me to take 2 sazo 500 tablets at noon and night. Is it okay to have one sazo 1000 tablet insteed of 2 500 tablets? , as i only 1000 mg tablet near my place. ## nope please do whatever the doctor says... iam not sure whether u are having RA.. if so after a month the doctor will def ask u to take sazo 1000 mg twice per day.. ## @Stalin, If you're only able to fill your prescription for the 1000mg tabs, then you may need to get one of those pill cutters that divide it in two, in order to meet your doctor's dosing criteria. He probably wants you to take it twice in order to keep it building up in your system throughout the day. However I too realize that many pharmacies aren't always able to give you exactly what you need. I'd just verify what's going o...

I am currently experiencing an adverse reaction to the Sulfametazol (Sepran) tablet. A few years ago, my doctor advised me to avoid all sulfur group medicines. I'm considering taking Sazo tablets, which contain Sulfasalazine as an active ingredient. Could you please advise if I could potentially have any reactions if I take this medication? Thank you for your help. ## Hello, Arun! How are you? Yes, it may cause you to have an adverse reaction, since it is also in the sulfa group. Reactions to sulfa medications tend to worsen with time and exposure, which could put you in greater danger. Have you consulted your doctor? It would be best to do so in order to find out what medication you can safely take.

Please inform me whether Sazo 1000 creates any problems during pregnancy? Is it safe to use during the pregnancy period? ## Can anybody pls explain to me the real cause of rheumatic arthritis and if Sazo 1000mg helps to treat the underlying cause? I know that it's an autoimmune disorder but I don't know what triggers it. It's been one year since I've been diagnosed with it and I am 17 yrs old. I tried doing my bit of research and I came across a certain protein present in a particular gene responsible for this kind of response but I am still not clear what causes this.

I am taking sazo 2000 regular for RA. Now feeling acute acidity and a bad smell always coming from stomach preferably moring, evening and when taking wheat product. ## Hi, Bapi! That can happen with excess acidity and having the issue with wheat products means you may be gluten intolerant. What type of testing has your doctor done? The Sulfasalazine in the Sazo could be contributing to the problem, since it is known to cause gastric upset and distress. Learn more Sazo details here. Have you consulted your doctor about it? You may need to try a different medication for your RA.
