Can I take 100 and Sulfasalazine together?

Why this happens

Both aspirin and sulfasalazine belong to a family of medicines called salicylates. Because they are chemically similar, taking them together can lead to a 'double dose' effect. Aspirin can also compete with sulfasalazine for clearance from the body, leading to higher levels of the medicine in your system.

You should speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. They may want to monitor you more closely for side effects or adjust your dosage. If you experience any unusual stomach pain, indigestion, or dark/tarry stools, contact your doctor immediately.
