Does anyone on Sulfasalazine suffer more frequently with coldsores?

    Sulph is a DMARD (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug) and it works by dampening the immune system. If you are prone to cold sores then it would seem reasonable that they may recur more frequently. DD

    I take meth, not sulph, and have never been prone to coldsores but DD's explanation makes sense to me.
