How often do you get blood tests while on imuran? I'm curious what's normal

I think every 3-4 weeks at the start, and then less often once your dose is set and you have record on no elevated enzymes..

I started at weekly, moved to bi-weekly, moved to monthly, then finally moved to trimonthly (which is where I stay). Getting good results at one level for a while, got me moved to the next.

Quarterly is norm for standard monitoring.

This is how things went for me too. Unfortunately I ended up with low WBC and had to do the weekly for quite some time...
