"I have been on azathioprine for over 20 years, along with prednisone when I have a flare of autoimmune hepatitis. A couple times the Dr tried to lower my doses, and each time I flared. Azathioprine has been a life saver."

"I've been taking Imuran for 18 years, also prednisone. Stopped prednisone 3 years ago and started on allopurinol with Imuran for the last 3 years. Have now stopped allopurinol because I've got urticaria, they think it's allopurinol. This has been for 6 weeks, just started it again 2 days ago and the rash is back, very painful. Not sure what I will take with Imuran now, if anything. Don't understand. Also take Lipitor, Zoloft. I'm a diabetic also and take metformin and insulin: Novolog and Lantus. Also aspirin. I'm 50 this year, and it's worrying."

"I have chronic autoimmune hepatitis and have been taking Imuran for four years. It has prevented further flare-ups (which I have taken as much as a year to recover from). It enables me to live my life feeling well with mild side effects (some nausea)."
