My Rheumatologist prescribed this 4 mo ago. Not sure what it’s supposed to do but there’s been no changes. Anyone have experience with this immunosuppressant?

Did you discuss the lack of improvement on azathioprine with your rheumatologist? What did they suggest?

@med951
Do you tolerate the AZA well? Could you share what side effects you are experiencing and were you prescribed a steroid to take with it?
Thank you for your reply.

@azd I have no side effects. Steroid at first to manage when acute.
