"This medicine helped with the pain. There used to be a time I could not move due to my psoriatic arthritis in my legs, neck, shoulders, and down my spine. I also suffer from psoriasis and it helps to mild the flare-up as well. But I have to take another medicine called Taltz, they work together to give you better results."

"Took a while to feel worthwhile improvements. Also a long (nearly 2 months) of side effects like hot flushes about an hour after taking pill. Serious bloating & nausea & loss of appetite. Disturbed sleeping, still happening. Dropped 5kg, which is not a bad thing when you have arthritis. Now"

"I too am using sulfasalazine for psoriatic arthritis and it has helped somewhat and I too have ringing in my ears. Suffice to say it has helped so I do recommend it."

"Great response. Reduces P.A. symptoms to virtually zero. Been taking it for 30+ years with no side effects other than increased bleeding if I cut myself."

"Have to admit it works, but the metallic taste in mouth and heart palpitations make me nervous. Haven’t slept for two days because of fast heartbeat. Called my doctor, but he prescribed some medication to reduce the palpitations. Not sure what to expect. It’s the early second month into the treatment with this med. Fingers crossed."
