Takes a long time to get used to the side-effects. Either they get better by time or one start to tolerate them. Pretty effective though, even on a small dosage.10/13/2010 at 03:04 AM

Azathioprine kept me in remission for around 3 years. The only side effect i had was if i got run down i would get very ill with viruses etc, but since i have started taking vitamins and not overdoing it i now don't get ill anymore than i did pre-aza. (also, have an annual flu jab just in case). Now i'm on a higher dose (150mg instead of 200mg) i've experienced some hair thinning but this may be also because i'm on steroids. On balance I would say the side effects are minimal (and worth it), and i've never had any abnormal blood tests while on this medication. 9/23/2010 at 05:38 PM
