Core Tip
Core Tip: Sulfasalazine has been used widely as a standard-of-care in ulcerative colitis; however, it is associated with a spectrum of side effects after long-term and high-dose intake. Since a single dose of sulfasalazine cannot provide satisfactory therapeutic results, we conducted a comparative evaluation of the pharmacological effect of sulfasalazine alone and when used in combination with Citrus unshiu peel and Bupleuri radix mixture in an experimentally-induced ulcerative colitis mouse model.
