Welcome. Yes, check out our blog for a myriad of details. You can take this one way or another, but the active component in sulfasalazine is almost exactly like aspirin. My beef with it is that it uses a sulfa drug to get the medicine to the bowel area. The sulfa drug is an antibacterial...

When my wife first got pregnant, it seemed like the first few weeks or so we were buzzing like bees trying to figure out every little detail about pregnancy, childbirth, how to raise our children, and how to send them off to college. Then time slowed down and by and by we understood how nine...

I will definitely look forward to attending something like this in Houston or elsewhere close if possible! Thanks!
