Azathioprine
Can I have your experiences of this drug please? My rheumy wants me to start this (as soon as my blood tests come back to show I’m healthy enough 😳) and I just don’t know...The side effects look daunting and it’s a carcinogen too? I feel like I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.

Azathioprine tapering
Hi, I've been on
Azathioprine
for nearly two years now after chemo infusions for my anti gbm vasculitus. My consultant is starting to reduce my doses monthly....I'm wondering if anyone has ever got completely off it and if they had any with-drawals or side effects etc.

Hair loss?
I’m currently taking 100mg of
azathioprine
daily and 50mg of colchicine. I have noticed since taking
azathioprine
I’ve had crazy amounts of hair loss. I used to have crazy thick hair and now it’s thin and brittle. When I put my hands through it I get a handful.

Medication timings?
I am on 15 mg prednisolone, ramipril, Omeprazole, and today have started
azathioprine
. All these are to be taken in the morning with food, apart from the
azathioprine
which I am also to take with my evening meal. Is it OK to take them in one batch in the morning? Thanks in advance

Azathioprine and Mesalazine
I started taking
azathioprine
a week ago despite speaking to a pharmacist that my mesalazine was mentioned in the aza leaflet. He told me not to worry. It was fine. Today I was picking up my repeat prescriptions and saw that my more regular pharmacist was in and So I decided to ask his opinion.

Azathioprine side effects
From the start consultant warned that
azathioprine
has some severe side effects, including a higher risk of skin cancer, and it have asked respiratory consultant to reduce or change from
azathioprine
but am told not to touch what is working.

Azathioprine as preventive measure for 20 year stable lung fibrosis in SS??
Now my new doc wants to put me back on a low dose of
azathioprine
as a preventive measure, to slow down future progression. I have high titre 1:1280 but remain asymptomatic. My lung tests and TAC show no changes whatsoever. All I read contradicts this opinion. Any advice? Thank you. Grace

Why
Azathioprine
stopped 2 weeks ago as it had dropped below 1.4,.Seeing Dr's every 2 days, have just moved house so new gp has no history as yet. Also moved 285 miles away from last hospital so not been referred to new rheumatology department. Really worried.

How to take azathioprine?
Hi all was wondering if anyone takes
azathioprine

UCTD and Azathioprine
He suggested I start a medication called
Azathioprine
... but everything I’ve read about it is bad! So I’m a little concerned. Could anyone share any positive experiences of this medication to put my mind at rest?

Nausea with azathioprine
Has anybody got any coping strategies for
Azathioprine
nausea? I started it on Friday and understand that nausea and sickness were very common side-effects. Feeling fairly grim with nausea today so if anyone’s found anything that helps, please let me know! Bunny xx

Flare up whilst on azathioprine
I started
azathioprine
at the beginning of August after finishing prednisolone. I was getting on ok I would get some stomach pain and diarrhoea every now and again but nothing too intense. But this past 4 days I have had terrible pains where I can’t walk, I’m vomiting and diarrhoea.
