It sounds like the question is about how hard Imuran (azathioprine) is on the stomach when you have lupus — great question!
Imuran can definitely be tough on the digestive system. It's known to cause a range of stomach-related side effects, including:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Potential problems with the pancreas and liver Since lupus itself can already cause digestive issues in 40–60% of people, adding a medication like Imuran into the mix can make it harder to figure out what's causing what.
It's really important to keep track of when symptoms started and what they feel like, so you and your rheumatologist can piece together what might be going on.
If stomach issues are becoming a problem, don't hesitate to bring it up with your doctor — they may be able to adjust your dose or explore other options.
