I'm being prescribed Thiopurine. Has anyone had to take this? Post liver transplant 1 year 5 months. Thanks

Hi there
This is done in order to prevent rejection by lowering the immune system.
After undergoing a liver transplant more than five and a half years ago, my only prescriptions were for Tacrolimus and Cellcept.
Thiopurines are immune system suppressors that may have been administered for conditions involving inflammation.
For further clarification, you might choose to speak with your transplant nurse coordinator.
