I was placed on this medication almost a year ago as a secondary immunosuppressant because of a renal transplant. I have noticed that my hair is thinned out quite a bit, but aside from that I really haven't had any other problematic side effects. I am still on tacrolimus as my primary immunosuppressant. In the beginning I was also on CellCept but it was discontinued due to the development of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which was most likely transplant medication-related cancer. The doctor put me on imuran as my secondary last year, because my creatinine levels jumped quite a bit in a 3-month period last year. I'm on this medication as a prevention of rejection of my kidney. Overall the medicine really hasn't bothered me at all aside from my hair thinning out. So far so good and if it's offered as an option for transplant rejection, it's something to definitely look into with your doctor as a primary or secondary medication. I had my transplant in December of 2013, and so far it's doing well.

I've been taking Azathioprine for over two months now (May 2021) for my lupus. First on low dose then it was raised after a few weeks of taking it. There has been no improvement for me but there has been problems that was caused by Azathioprine. There has been blood in my urine, stomach irritation, occasional nausea, fatigue (even though I'm often fatigue because of lupus & other medications) as well as hair loss. When I was first diagnosed with lupus in April 2020, my symptoms were getting worse & hair loss happen majorly. By mid-October 2020 I was hospitalized for over a month. I started to improve but still not my full self. Still aches & pain but my hair was starting to grow back. However, taking Azathioprine has caused me to lose my hair again but in noticeable areas. Azathioprine isn't working for me & causing me problems.

I have been taking imuran along with prednisone for 32 years as an anti rejection drug, it is definitely working for me. The only issue I have with it is that besides my recurring skin cancer bouts that I have had (about 7) my skin is showing more brown spots and catatonic. Dermatologists insist that it is not due to the imuran, I tend to differ. What do you think?

I have had U/C for almost 6 years, tried many types of medications. A couple weeks ago, my doctor prescribed Imuran. On the 9th day I had a major allergic reaction and was sent to the ER.

After years of being more ill after being sick. With anything, I finally got Ulcerative Colitis. My LFTs were over 400 when I got into Hospital, I had what I thought was a chill, and turned out to be The Ri-gors. I was sent up to Hospital. Put under A Brillient To the researchist who put me?.. I was born with this Disorder. I was also born Dyslexic which this darn thing will not make allowances for. So despite all the above I now. Have Thyroid problems, and after Abdominal pain since Xmas I had a gastric scope yesterday, so now I have inflammation in stomach. Mostly I,m good the Immuran has changed to Puri-netthol 50mg daily I don't get ill so often and feel pretty most of the time. But when I do get something it,s usually a big thing. I was diagnosed in 2007. I feel I was born in 1943 with my own bundle on board.

I took Imuran for nearly 2 months at various doses before my doctor finally agreed to let me discontinue use. During its use, I lost 20lbs and developed several permanent health concerns. I now have bronchiolitis, chronic bronchitis, chronic pharyngitis, and muscle dysphagia involving my voice box. It hurts when I breathe and my voice often sounds strange. I wish I would've refused this medication. My disease is now under complete remission by following the specific carbohydrate diet. I was on Remicade IV 500mg for 11 months prior to and combination with Imuran and I've also been able to stop using that. If you have UC, even severe pancolitis like me, consider the SCD. It could save your life.

I took Imuran for nearly 2 months at various doses before my doctor finally agreed to let me discontinue use. During its use, I lost 20lbs and developed several permanent health concerns. I now have bronchiolitis, chronic bronchitis, chronic pharyngitis, and muscle dysphagia involving my voice box. It hurts when I breathe and my voice often sounds strange. I wish I would've refused this medication. My disease is now under complete remission by following the specific carbohydrate diet. I was on Remicade IV 500mg for 11 months prior to and combination with Imuran and I've also been able to stop using that. If you have UC, even severe pancolitis like me, consider the SCD. It could save your life.

I have had U/C for 15 years, with several bad flareups. Asacol and prednisone did nothing to help, but after 6 months on Imuran I got my first clean colonoscopy in 15 years. I can run without flareups for the first time in more than five years. The only side effect I've noticed is some slight joint pain in my hips, but that could also be my 50 year old body after a long run!

I was placed on this medication almost a year ago as a secondary immunosuppressant because of a renal transplant. I have noticed that my hair is thinned out quite a bit, but aside from that I really haven't had any other problematic side effects. I am still on tacrolimus as my primary immunosuppressant. In the beginning I was also on CellCept but it was discontinued due to the development of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which was most likely transplant medication-related cancer. The doctor put me on imuran as my secondary last year, because my creatinine levels jumped quite a bit in a 3-month period last year. I'm on this medication as a prevention of rejection of my kidney. Overall the medicine really hasn't bothered me at all aside from my hair thinning out. So far so good and if it's offered as an option for transplant rejection, it's something to definitely look into with your doctor as a primary or secondary medication. I had my transplant in December of 2013, and so far it's doing well.
