Olsalazine Sodium Capsules

Function and Efficacy

This product replaces the inactive sulfapyridine in sulfasalazine (SASP) with the active ingredient 5-aminosalicylic acid, that is, two molecules of 5-aminosalicylic acid are connected by an azo bond, which improves the efficacy and reduces the incidence of adverse reactions. 5-aminosalicylic acid is an effective ingredient for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, but after oral administration of 5-aminosalicylic acid, it is absorbed in the small intestine and excreted in the urine after acetylation, and cannot reach the colon. This product is not absorbed or decomposed in the stomach and small intestine. After reaching the colon, its azo bond is broken by bacteria, decomposed into two molecules of 5-aminosalicylic acid and act on the inflamed mucosa of the colon, inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, inhibiting the formation of inflammatory mediators leukotrienes, reducing the permeability of the intestinal wall cell membrane, reducing intestinal mucosal edema, and exerting an anti-inflammatory effect.
