Subject: Sulphasalazine or not??

Please can anybody help??

I was proscribed Salasalazine by my first rummey appointment, after taking it for 5 weeks I ran out of it, so went to my GP to see if I could get some more.

My wife got the drugs from Boots, but on the front of it, they have spelt it as salazopyrinen??

I know that it could of been spelt wrong, but can anybody confirm what these tables are Sulphasalazine

The tablets that I have are orange in colour, and have KPh on one side of them and on the other side has 102

If you google them you will find them and it will tell you. Sometimes pharmacies dispense drugs that are labelled for european market. Has happened to me before.

How come the GP hasn't given you a repeat prescription? Or is it a boots pharmacy where you can get prescriptions. That would make more sense wouldn't it. Sorry Im being a moron lol

It is the same thing, that name you gave is the manufacturers name of the drug. i have had two prescriptions for this, one lot came to me in white medicine containers with the information booklet stuck to the container and that said alazopyrinen on the container, i picked up a repeat prescription a few weeks ago and the container was different the name on the container was different, when i asked the phamacist she just said is what just a different brand.
