sulfasalazine tablet swallowing

I've been on methotrexate for 10 months (now metaject) and the suggestion is to add in sulfasalazine as well. I notice it is 2 tabs 2x per day. I have never been good at swallowing tablets and i wonder what size they are and what they taste like? (I never manage to swallow them quickly enough not to taste them). Thanks for all the wisdom shared in this group, it really helps.

Hi

Sorry I don’t have any experience of those meds , hopefully someone will come along who does soon.

I take hydroxy and the taste is horrible they are not big tabs , but I never manage to swallow them quickly enough either..

Good luck with the new meds

I always needed a big mug of warm tea to fire them down. No other way for me. 😑 x
