Azathioprine

2 Replies

Hi after some feedback. Consultant has me on a six week return after repeating full medical plus ct scan, usually it's six months. He's told me to consider going on this drug. Have read some info on internet but would love to hear from thoses who have used it or on it.

Have bronchiolitis, and l may be wrong but it might mean l can come of steriods. Something l would love to do.

Any info greatly recieved.

I was on this for a while, unfortunately it didn't work for me long term, but it has had good results for others. It should mean you can reduce your steroids.

Good luck x
