hello, my friends
After 2 weeks on entocort 9m g(along with azatioprin 100mg) I started going into flare again (blood, D), although those symptoms were gone after 1 week. Also, my white blood cells level has been dropping, now it is 2.5, and my liver ferments went high. When prescribed Entocort, my GI mentioned that on entocort close watching of wbc is needed and correction of the dosage might be neccessary. But later after 1 week being on it and seeing the improvement, she said me to take it for 2 months, and then to tapper it. And now my GI is on long wacation, will be back in March, and I am afraid I cannot wait that long. Earlier I was on Azatioprin 150mg, but due to negative impact on my wbc (it also had dropped then) I was allowed Azatiorpin 100mg, but my flare started again, so later on Entocort 9 mg was added, and now the story is similar again. Does anybody has any experience like that? Maybe I should lower entocort to 6mg? Waiting for any advice, thank you
