When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of sulfasalazine is contraindicated in patients with intestinal obstruction. Approximately one-third of orally administered sulfasalazine is systemically absorbed from the small intestine, while the majority is metabolized by intestinal bacteria to 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) that remains in the colonic lumen and gets excreted in the feces.
