Starting Azathioprine

[livorben89]

Hey guys, just looking for some info. I am starting on Azathioprine in a few weeks and just wondered if anyone else had used it? Would be really grateful if you could share your experiences, good and bad!

Hey livorben89,

Lots of us are on Azathioprine or Imuran is it is also known, 6mp is a very similar drug. There is a support group for folks on these meds you can read the threads there or more info! I have been on Imuran since May 2013 this go round. I take 150mg once daily. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
