Diagnosed With Ankylosing Spondylitis. Taking Salazar. Kidney Stones Developed. Side Effect?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with "ankylosing spondylitis". I am taking "Salazar DS" for last 4-5 years now. I don't feel much discomfort as long as I take Salazar DS. But I feel it has some side effects. I have been developing frequent Kidney stones. Somewhere I read Salazar Ds can be responsible for developing kidney stone. Do you suggest any alternative medicine? My rheumatologist says, there is no permanent cure for Ankylosing spondylitis. It can only be controlled by medicine and some exercise. What do you suggest me to do so I can have a healthy and normal life.
Warm Regards,

Hi Mishra,
Thank you for posting your question here.
Your doctor is right, there is no known cure for ankylosing spondylitis and salazar Ds is a medication which can be given for it.
But it isnt the only choice you have, there are other drugs out there for example methotrexate and cyclosprin.
For the pain there is diclofenac and ibuprofen.
But the main stay recommendation for ankylosing spondylitis is exercise. So dont stop exercising and talk to your doctor about these other medication options.
I hope this answered your question.
