Hi,

Poor you, I took one tablet of azothioprine 14 years ago and within 2 hours was seriously ill in hospital with acute pancreatitis. I was 3 hours away from dying it was so bad and Ive never been in so much pain, I was in hospital for a week. I wasdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes 2 years ago due to damage to my pancreas I believe, as I am not overweight and eat a healthy diet. Stay strong!

Iv had a quick research and it appears that there have been reported cases of pancreatitis in people who take vibersi. sorry I cant be of more help x
