Side effects from Imuran I have heard of a lot of people who are on Imuran after surgery. Does it cause hair loss and is it an immunosuppressant?

My daughter just had surgery for a blockage and fistula which is why the 6mp or Mercaptopurine or Purinthol was not helping. The doctor said no medication would help a blockage not even Remicade. She was not completely blocked but almost. Anyway, both of her doctors, surgeon and hospital doctor...

My 19 year old daughter has found to have a blockage now at the end of her ileum. They feel it is due to scarring and not just pure inflammation but they will not do a scope because she is swelled shut. The doctors are recommending surgery instead of Remicade, she was due to be set up for her...

Thanks Thanks Catatonic for your quick response. Definitely eased my mind some. Have a great day.

My doctor has prescribed Entocort 9 mgs. daily for a zip of 8 weeks. I am sure he will taper at some point during this but my question is my daughter was on Prednisone and developed the horrid moon face, facial hair, back hair and at 19 she was devastated. Can anyone tell me their experience...

Has anyone felt their 6mp caused constipation? We have been eliminating supplements all but this medicine and she is still constipation. Seems to come and go weekly. Thanks for your input. Margie

I see there are a lot of people on the board this morning. I have had a couple positive responses regarding Serovera, but just a couple, so since there are so many people on board this morning I wanted to ask one more time if anyone else out there has had any type of success with this Aloe Vera...

6mp My daughter has been on it since September at 50 mgs. She weighs 91. She has fatigue and pretty bad hair loss but it seems to keep some of her symptoms of cramping at bay. Not sure how long we may take this one. HTH.

Thanks for your advice.

Thanks Thanks so much for responding. I hope you find the right medicine for your situation also. Margie

Nioxin Thanks so much for the advice.

I am reading some good things about this product and not a lot of negative. Can anyone share their experience? Would Aloe Juice work just as well? Thank you.

Biotin Dosage Thanks so much, that gives me hope. Can you tell me if you take an average of 3,000 or 5,000 mcgs. or how much? Thanks.

Has anyone tried Biotin for hair loss from 6mp or Purinthol. My 18 year old needs to find a remedy. She tried a Folic Acid supplement but it upset her stomach. If anyone has had success, what dosage do you take and are there any side effects? Thanks.

My daughter has tried to take Folic Acid for a hair growth supplement and it caused severe stomach cramping with her. Has anyone taken Biotin, if so what dosage, did it help from hair loss from the medication, did you have any side effects. She is on 6mp or Mercaptopurine or Purinthol, all the...

Has anyone had to go off Purinthol or 6mp or Mercaptopurine, all the same drug due to hair loss? My 18 year old is losing it by the handful when she showers. The thinning has become evident. I tried taking a Folic Acid Supplement but she got severe stomach cramps from it. I know it was this...
