Hi everyone
So last week I seen my Rheummy who gave me the choice of starting on Azathioprine or Mycophenalate. I chose MMF but turns out there is alot of issues with taking this drug and contraception. My GP has said I need to be on 2 different forms of contraception i.e. IUD which I have and I need to start taking the mini pill and they wont issue me this drug without 2 negative pregnancy tests, having my IUD replaced and take the pill! I have an IUD in place but I really dont want to start the pill at 43!! So I’ve chosen Azathioprine for this reason. I hoping Aza will be just as effective in my flare. Hoping Ive made the right choice!
