aminosalicylates
sulfasalazine
olsalazine
balsalazide
mesalamine
Notice that all of these aminosalicylates contain -sala- in them? -sala- rhymes with -sali-?
Note the salicylates? These are salicylates drugs/derivatives => anti-inflammatory functions
Sulfa as in sulfasalazine => sulfa allergy!
Use:
Because these are inflammatory suppression agents => think about the myelosuppression effects => adjust dose in renal impairment
Most of these meds for topical use. Mnemonics: Salad dressing => Topical use
Mnemonics:
Sala is for Sali the salicylate!
