Imuran

[Mary]

Anyone ever had weird blood counts on Imuran. Especially WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT.

No, all it did to me was make it like I had taken a jug of Exlax! Man that was a fun day....

we have to have our blood counts monitored in order to find the correct dose. It gets tailored to our specific metabolism. Some people can not take it because of how it is metabolized.

I had a weird potassium count when I was on it. Did you have a baseline done beforehand as it could be down to your Crohn's?

Nope nothing wrong with me. 200mg/ d and I weigh 150lbs. Been for about 6 blood tests so far since starting and never been notified of anything wrong thus far. Now have you been losing a lot of blood in your stool lately? When I have that I'm anemic, when I'm feeling well and not so sick I'm not anemic haha. So like Beth said it could be Crohn's related?
