Humira and other meds

[timbo267]

Hey,

I was just wondering if anyone was on humira and other meds at the same time like asacol or azothriapine as I'm not sure if I am still supposed to carry on with my usual meds (asacol and azothriapine and ciprofloxacillin) I haven't started on humira yet I start Monday.

Humira can be used in combination with azathioprine but I would definitely check with your GI about dosages and such since you are on antibiotics and the 5ASA just to make certain you were following the protocol the doctor advised.

Ok just wanted to check they wouldn't clash with each other as nobody has told me to stop stop taking them and I know the doc wanted me to carry on with antibiotics because of my fistula

No none of them interact as far as I know. I am on Humira and aza.

I'm on humira and aza. As well as having an effect on crohn's itself, the aza also helps to reduce any immune response against the humira, which happens to a number of people, and means they have to stop taking it as it becomes ineffective (which is a bit of a bummer if it was working up till then).
