Abstract

Skin rash is a common side effect of sulphasalazine. Desensitisation, with a gradual introduction of the drug, may prevent rash. This study reports a 33% (3/9 patients) success rate of desensitisation in patients with arthritis. Desensitisation should only be attempted if sulphasalazine has been efficacious in treating the joint symptoms.
