Azasan, Imuran as it is also called does not have codeine in it.

It does cause nausea in some people. Are you vomiting after taking it ?
Have you asked your GI about this side affect?

There is an Imuran sub-forum under Treatment here, so you might want to take a look around in there.

I'm sure someone will be around who is actually taking this med to help you soon

Welcome to the forum !

Hi Red
I only started taking this 5 days ago and yesterday and today I've been feeling sick but not actually thrown up. We do have an Imuran sub- forum that you could check out.
What dose are you on? Have you mentioned this to your doctors?
And it's nice to meet you

Hi and welcome! I would certainly phone your GI and let him know about the side effects you are having with Azathioprine. Perhaps levels need to be adjusted or it may just not be the right treatment for you. But it's best to clue your GI to figure out what is going on!
