Imuran

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭
Electra, TX

My Dr. Wants to add a very small dose of Imuran, 50 mg, to my meds. I take methotrexate and plaquinil now with no problems. I just continue to hurt and have no energy. Im worried about getting infections. Has anyone taken this drug had any problems?

I was very skeptical of this med since it is actually a chemo pill. My doc told me that it will quieten the symptoms and flareups. Beentaking them for 3 yrs now and it seems to help. I havent had any side effect happen yet, Asked doc when can I get off them, he just replied that they seem to be working for me why stop. Thats not what I wanted to hear, But I quess he knows best, I pretty much listen to my body and when something dont seem right I let him know and we go from there.

I have taken 200 mg/day of imuran for years, along with 200 mg plaquenil. I was very worried when I started on this regimen but have experienced no side effects whatsoever and it has been effective in symptom suppression

I vomit violently every time I take it. My kidney is very unhappy these
Days so I’m in need of something to knock down this flare.
