Hi,
If you are intolerant to sulfalazine, Sulfa-free aminosalicylate formulations, alternative azo-bonded carriers, 5-ASA dimers, and delayed-release and controlled-release preparations, like Olsalazine, alsalazide, delayed-release Mesalamine, controlled-release Mesalamine can be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
