I’m still on Imuran (Azathioprine) after 22 years so I’m curious.
What was the reason given?
Did it get replaced with anything else?
they said because. I have had l when you alot places frozen off my skin. They are afraid I would get skin cancer.
would love to know reason you off still on imuran after 40 years
you may consider reducing the dosage or replacing with another immuno drug
I didn’t take imuran. I’ve always maintained Cell Cept, Prograf and Prednisone. I had 2 rejections in 1996 so they wouldn’t let me change. The same goes for my 8/2024 transplant.
what other immunosuppressants do you take?
A lady in our area has been off all meds for years. Don’t know how that is possible.
Do you know how long she has had her transplant
