Do I need to reduce Sulphasalazine?

clariana

Hello

I'm currently suffering from flu and as a result I've lost my appetite over the last few days and eaten very little. I'm on 3gs of Sulphasalazine a day, my question is, do I need to reduce this amount temporarily as I'm not eating and it seems to be making me nauseous (which is not helping things)?

Hello Clariana

You shouldn't change your medication without consulting your doctors. If you haven't already done so, please ring your rheumatology clinic and ask their advice.

Best wishes
