Can I use a substitute for sulfasalazine if I am missing the medicine I use every day? Is it safe and can it cause changes in the body?
I have been taking Sulfasalazine-EN Slovenia for 1.5 years, but it disappeared from pharmacies in my city, there is only Sulfasalazine made in India. Is it possible to switch from one to another and will there be changes in the body due to the change of producers?

If you do not have access to the drug you are taking, it is worth considering using a substitute for this drug. A drug substitute is a preparation that contains the same active substance in the same dose and has the same therapeutic indications. Substitutes may differ in their content and type of excipients - these substances determine the form of the drug, its shelf life, absorption and organoleptic properties, such as appearance or taste. They should not have any therapeutic effect, but sometimes they can cause side effects, e.g. allergic reaction, irritation of the gastric mucosa. Substitutes may also differ in price at the pharmacy.
You can see the substitutes on the website of the medicine you are using:

It is worth reporting the current situation on the market to a doctor. If you have any doubts about the use of the substitute, it is worth presenting them during a conversation with your doctor, who will recommend the appropriate procedure. The Gdziepolek.pl portal allows you to take advantage of teleconsultations, which takes place in Polish:
