Sulfasalazine is one of several first-line options for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. It is especially notable for being cost-effective and well-studied, though not without some drawbacks. Here’s how it compares to other common DMARDs and anti-inflammatory agents:
| Medication | Drug Class | Use | Key Considerations |
| Sulfasalazine | DMARD | RA, UC, PsA (off-label) | Affordable, effective, requires folate supplementation But GI side effects and hypersensitivity risk |
| Methotrexate | DMARD, Antineoplastic | RA, PsA, Cancers | First-line for RA; requires folate; risk of liver toxicity |
| Hydroxychloroquine | DMARD, Antimalarial | RA, Lupus, Malaria | Fewer side effects; eye exams needed for long-term use |
| Mesalamine | 5-ASA Derivative | Ulcerative colitis | Similar GI benefit but lacks systemic immunomodulatory effects |
| Biologics (e.g., Humira) | TNF inhibitor | RA, UC, Crohn’s, PsA | Expensive; higher infection risk; injectable |
Advantages of Sulfasalazine:
• Long-established safety and efficacy data
• Dual use in joint and bowel conditions
• Often used in combination therapy for RA
Limitations:
• May cause GI upset and hypersensitivity
• Requires routine blood work
• Takes awhile to see improvement in symptoms
