I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable. My dr is hoping that after being on it for 5 years it will put me in remission because that is what the studies and data have shown. I initially had to go on steroids to lower liver levels and then started the Imuran. Steroids were terrible and I dread the day I have to go back on them.

Hope this info helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for responding. I am glad you have had good results on Imuran. My doctor told me a lot of people cannot tolerate it due to G.I. upset. I just started one pill per fay and then will titrate up to three per day. So far so good for me.

wishing you the best

I’ve been taking urso for 10 yrs, and it keeps my numbers in check. I’ve had no ill effects and remain asymptomatic.

it so works better now than in the beginning. I’m in stage 4 of liver chirrosis, however my blood work is amazing. Best of care to you going forward.

Hi I have been on Urso since 1995 and I am happy with my liver results and my specialist is very happy with my Liver test results. I wish you well and don't be afraid to take Ursodeoxycholic Acid with plenty of water. All the best. Mulberry
