Missed Imruan Dose

I've unfortunately missed 4 doses of my imuran. Is there anything I should be worried about? Or is there anything I should know?

Thank you. It's my own fault just didn't get the chance to get more before I ran out.

I got a phone call quite early this morning from my doctor...this is usually a red flag! She advised me to stop the imuran due to a blood test indication my liver function was now poor. She believed it was from the Imurin since it was introduced a month ago. Has anyone else had this issue? Did live function return to normal quickly after stopping. I am very thankful I do not drink alcohol for i can't imagine what the combination would do.

Does Anyone Take Imuran And Plaquenil Together? Does Imuran Make Your Tongue Swell A Little?

Does anyone have to take both Imuran and Plaquenil? Just seems like too much medicine. Plus, I keep seeing that Imuran is more for those that had a transplant?! Thinking of getting off of Imuran. I think it is making my tongue swell a little. Have you guys noticed your tongue swelling with Imuran?
