I take Salazopyrin for Ulcerative Colitis and have done for many years. I am up to my third pregnancy and have continued to take it for all three. I do however reduce my dose to half when pregnant even though I am advised by both obstitrition, GP and specialist that it is safe to take during pregnancy.

I have never had any problems when taking this drug during pregnancy but I did suspect before this current pregnancy that it might have been inhibiting me getting pregnant so I stopped taking it and resumed again when pregnant. (I don't know whether this helped or not).

As you can see I am due to have my third bubba in a few weeks and as advised by my specialist I will stop taking Salazopyrin one or two weeks before I'm due to be on the safe side when I go into labour.
