Balsalazide Exposure During the Development of Fertilizing Sperm May Be Associated With Offspring Birth Defects. We report an association between balsalazide exposure during the development of fertilizing sperm and birth defects in offspring. Exposed offspring were approximately 8 times more likely to have a birth defect. There were no pre-existing reasons to suspect such a relationship, which

A few cases of diarrhea have been reported in infants exposed to mesalamine, although the rate is not high. Most experts consider mesalamine derivatives to be safe during breastfeeding.[1-4] If balsalazide is required by the mother

Suppression of colitis-associated carcinogenesis through modulation of IL-6/STAT3 pathway by balsalazide and VSL#3. Recent studies suggest that the anti-inflammatory agent balsalazide (BSZ) and probiotic agent VSL#3 have potential therapeutic benefits for the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. However, their effectiveness in preventing colitis-associated carcinogenesis (CAC
Balsalazide Potentiates Parthenolide-Mediated Inhibition of Nuclear Factor-κB Signaling in HCT116 Human Colorectal Cancer Cells Balsalazide is an anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Balsalazide can reduce inflammatory responses via several mechanisms, including inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity. Parthenolide (PT) inhibits NF-κB and exerts promising anticancer effects by promoting apoptosis. The present investigated the antitumor effects of balsalazide, combined with PT, on NF-κB in a representative human colorectal carcinoma cell line, HCT116. We counted cells and conducted annexin-V assays and cell cycle analysis to measure apoptotic cell death. Western blotting was used investigate the levels of proteins involved in apoptosis. PT
Figure C-10).Nonsurgical Interventions to Prevent RecurrenceHigh-strength evidence indicates that mesalamine does not reduce risk for recurrence but is not more harmful than placebo (Table 2). Evidence for other interventions (rifaximin, combination mesalamine and rifaximin, combination balsalazide [a 5-aminosalicylic acid prodrug] and probiotics, probiotics, and burdock tea) is too sparse to make infection) with mesalamine or placebo.Other Nonsurgical InterventionsSingle, generally small RCTs provided insufficient evidence for comparisons of other interventions. These included comparisons of placebo versus probiotics (39), rifaximin (40), combination mesalamine and probiotics (44), and burdock tea (41); mesalamine versus rifaximin (37); combination balsalazide and rifaximin versus rifaximin (45
events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), withdrawals due to AEs, and withdrawals or exclusions after entry. Trials were separated into five comparison groups: 5-ASA versus placebo, 5-ASA versus SASP, once-daily dosing versus conventional dosing, 5-ASA (balsalazide, Pentasa, and olsalazine) versus comparator 5-ASA formulation (Asacol and Salofalk), and 5-ASA dose-ranging. We calculated the risk ratio
analyzed five comparisons: 5-ASA versus placebo, 5-ASA versus sulfasalazine, once-daily dosing versus conventional dosing, 5-ASA (e.g. MMX mesalamine, Ipocol, Balsalazide, Pentasa, Olsalazine and 5-ASA micropellets) versus comparator 5-ASA (e.g. Asacol, Claversal, Salofalk), and 5-ASA dose-ranging. We calculated the risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for each outcome. We analyzed data
; significant hepatic or renal disease; or unstable cardiovascular or pulmonary disease. Concomitant treatment with antibiotics, probiotics, sulfasalazine, olsalazine, balsalazide, mesalamine, rectal short-chain fatty acids, rectal glutamine, loperamide or diphenoxylate was not permitted after study enrolment. Concomitant therapy with rectal or oral corticosteroids was not permitted within 2 weeks
with oral or topical aminosalicylates (sulfasalazine, mesalazine, balsalazide or olsalazine), or with corticosteroids if aminosalicylates are contraindicated or not tolerated. Oral corticosteroids or drugs that affect the immune response can also be added if the disease does not respond to aminosalicylates. Colectomy is a treatment option if symptoms are inadequately controlled or if the patient has
A Case of Balsalazide-Induced Limited Form of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis with Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia-like Variant in Ulcerative Colitis 5-Aminosalicylate agents are the main therapeutic agents for ulcerative colitis. Balsalazide is a prodrug of 5-aminosalicylate and has fewer side effects than the other 5-aminosalicylate agents. Pulmonary complications resembling granulomatosis with polyangiitis in ulcerative colitis are extremely rare. Here, we report a patient with ulcerative colitis on balsalazide presenting respiratory symptoms and multiple pulmonary nodules from a chest radiography that was pathologically diagnosed with a limited form of granulomatosis with polyangiitis with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia-like variant. To our knowledge
on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)5-aminosalicylates (sulfasalazine, mesalazine, balsalazide and olsalazine) are listed on the PBS in a range of oral and rectal formulations.Restrictions apply to some of these medicines. See pbs.gov.au for details.Data SourceThe medicines included in the analysis were sulfasalazine, mesalazine, balsalazide and olsalazine. The analyses used data from the Department of Human
in inflammatory bowel disease (mesalazines, methotrexate, glucocorticoids and thioguanine). The gut microbiota cleaves the azo-bond of sulfasalazine, balsalazide and olsalazine and releases the active moiety 5-aminosalicylic acid. It has an impact on the metabolization and potentially on the response of methotrexate therapy. Especially thioguanine can be converted by intestinal bacteria into the pharmacological
). We aimed to quantify usage and examine trends in 5-ASA prescription rates in patients with CD. Using a retrospective design, we queried a national database of commercially insured patients (Truven-Health databases) between 2009 and 2014 to identify patients with CD aged 18 to 65 years. Prescription rates for 5-ASA medications including sulfasalazine, mesalamine, olsalazine, and balsalazide were
