Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Azulfidine from Canada?
90-day cost = 360 tablets at the usual dose of 4 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Other Ways to Pay for Azulfidine
We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.

Other ways to pay, useful if you have insurance or Medicare:
- TrumpRx.gov: The federal TrumpRx site lists brand Azulfidine 500 mg at $99.60 for 120 tablets (original price $199.20) and $149.40 for 180 (original $298.80), checked November 11, 2026. You print or save a coupon and show it at a retail pharmacy that carries Azulfidine. It can't be used with Medicare or Medicaid coverage, and a cash purchase won't count toward a Medicare plan's deductible or the $2,100 yearly cap. With private insurance, ask your plan whether a cash purchase counts toward your deductible. (TrumpRx.gov)
We list these because they may save you money. No one pays us to include them. Prices and eligibility rules change, so confirm before you buy. Checked Nov 12, 2026.
Azulfidine cost at a glance
- U.S. list price: $162.54 for a bottle of 100 brand Azulfidine 500 mg tablets, about $1.63 a tablet ($487.72 for 300). At 4 tablets a day, that's $585.14 for 90 days (the maker's wholesale price before discounts; Texas DSHS).
- TrumpRx: the federal TrumpRx site lists brand Azulfidine at $99.60 for 120 tablets and $149.40 for 180, with a coupon you show at a retail pharmacy. It can't be used with Medicare or Medicaid (TrumpRx.gov, checked 2026-11-11).
- Generic Azulfidine is sold in the U.S., for less. Several companies sell FDA-approved generic sulfasalazine 500 mg tablets, rated equivalent to Azulfidine (FDA Orange Book). In the 2026 filing, Teva lists 100 tablets at $18.65 and Mylan at $21.35 (Texas DSHS).
- How we count: 4 tablets a day (360 for 90 days), the label's adult maintenance dose of 2 g a day. Many people take more at first (3 to 4 g a day), so your cost may be higher.
- From online pharmacies abroad: $129.04 to $365.45 for 90 days of brand Azulfidine 500 mg, shipping included (checked Nov 12, 2026). Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved; outside the U.S., Azulfidine is often sold as Salazopyrin.

Azulfidine coupons and savings programs
eDrugSearch does not offer its own Azulfidine coupons. eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. If you have Medicare, these two programs can help with the cost of brand Azulfidine or generic sulfasalazine:
- Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)
Is there a generic Azulfidine?
Yes. The FDA has approved generic sulfasalazine 500 mg tablets from several makers, rated equivalent to Azulfidine. Generics have been sold since the 1970s.
| Strength | U.S. generic | Makers | Since |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 mg | Yes | Chartwell, Teva (Watson), Nuvo, Rising and others | Nov 12, 1973 |
Outside the U.S.: Online pharmacies abroad may also sell generic sulfasalazine made for other markets. Those packs are not FDA-approved, and the price table labels them that way.

What is Azulfidine used for?
Azulfidine is an aminosalicylate, a medicine that calms inflammation in the bowel. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To treat mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, and along with other treatment in severe ulcerative colitis.
- To help keep ulcerative colitis in remission (longer time between flares).
The label's usual adult starting dose is 3 to 4 g a day (6 to 8 tablets) in evenly divided doses, then 2 g a day (4 tablets) to keep remission; some people start lower to avoid stomach upset. It isn't for people with intestinal or urinary blockage, porphyria, or allergy to sulfasalazine, sulfa drugs or salicylates. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Azulfidine from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Azulfidine, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic sulfasalazine and the TrumpRx coupon before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Pfizer sells the same medicine as Salazopyrin; Health Canada lists Salazopyrin 500 mg tablets as marketed (Health Canada Drug Product Database, checked 2026-11-12).

Frequently asked questions
How much is Azulfidine without insurance?
The U.S. list price of brand Azulfidine is $162.54 for 100 tablets of 500 mg. The TrumpRx coupon price is $99.60 for 120 tablets (checked November 11, 2026), and generic sulfasalazine lists from $18.65 for 100. Online pharmacies abroad charged from $129.04 for 90 days of brand Azulfidine in our latest check (Nov 12, 2026).
Is there a generic Azulfidine?
Yes. FDA-approved generic sulfasalazine 500 mg tablets have been sold for decades, from several makers. Ask your pharmacist whether a generic can fill your prescription.
What's the difference between Azulfidine and Azulfidine EN-tabs?
Both contain sulfasalazine 500 mg. EN-tabs have a coating that delays release until the medicine passes the stomach, and they're also approved for rheumatoid arthritis. They're different products, so they aren't swapped without your prescriber.
Is Salazopyrin the same as Azulfidine?
Salazopyrin is the name Pfizer uses for sulfasalazine tablets in Canada and many other countries. Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved.
How much does Azulfidine cost with Medicare?
It depends on your Part D plan's drug list. In 2026, Part D deductibles are capped at $615 and out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 a year. People with limited income can apply for Extra Help. The TrumpRx coupon can't be used with Medicare.
How many Azulfidine tablets do people take a day?
The label's usual adult maintenance dose is 2 g a day, or 4 tablets, often more at the start. Your prescription says how many you need.
