So, I'm coming down from prednisone ... I'm on 2.5mg of prednisone and doing okay for the most part. I've found a new GI doc. He suggests, and I agree, that Imuran is not the Rx for me. At 100mg, I am not at theraputic levels, any higher and I can't break down the med. And also my hair is falling out. I've taken 6mp before and it affected my liver. I am allergic to Asacol as I am to aspirin and NSAIDS. That is why I am confused why the doc prescribed Pentasa to start after the holidays. Doesn't it have the same active med as Asacol? He says that my disease (mild) is most active in my large intestine, by the way.
Any advice?
Thanks!
