Sulfasalazine generic name?

What is the generic name of sulfasalazine?

The generic name is sulfasalazine.

Does sulfasalazine have other names (brand names)?

Yes. Sulfasalazine is also sold under brand names such as Azulfidine (and related brand listings depending on country).

Is sulfasalazine the same medicine as other “salicylate” drugs?

Sulfasalazine is a distinct drug (it’s a combination of a salicylate linked to a sulfonamide). Other medications that treat inflammatory bowel disease or arthritis may include salicylates (like mesalamine/mesalazine) but they are not the same as sulfasalazine.

How to confirm the drug on a prescription or label

On most labels, you’ll see either:
- sulfasalazine (generic), or
- a brand name like Azulfidine (brand), with the active ingredient listed as sulfasalazine.

If you tell me your country (or the brand name on your bottle), I can help match it to the exact generic and formulation.
