Ten days ago my dose of azathioprine was increased from 25mg daily to 50mg daily. I take it in the morning, along with prednisolone and some other meds, after I've had something to eat.
I've never been a breakfast eater so having to eat something that early in the day has been a bit of a problem, I just about manage a piece of toast.
About three or four days ago I started started to feel nauseous mid morning and put it down to, well, I'm not sure what really, but didn't connect it to the aza. The nausea passes off round about 4pm.
Reading up today, I see nausea is a common side effect of aza so I'm guessing that's what I'm experiencing. I don't want to take it in the evening as some people do as I already suffer with indigestion during the night, controlled by lansaprazole and ranitidine.
Can anyone suggest anything to get round this please, I'm a bit at a loss and find this nausea very unpleasant. Thanks.
