Appt with Consultant today - need alternative to azaphoprine as it caused liver cirrhosis

[Bucket13]

Hi, just wondering what should I ask? Anyone know something as strong as azaophoprine and Cortiment 9 mg steroids as they both worked for me but caused liver damage and steroids arent for long term use.

I don’t want to be fobbed off with meds that don’t work

Has your consultant considered biologic meds? These are the next option after azathioprine or similar. There are several and finding the one that works for you could be a long-term solution.

Hi, My appointment with the consultant went well yesterday and yes he prescribed biological meds adalimumab so here’s hoping it works for me xx
