Hi everyone I have had ulcerative Coltic for 3 years now and have been taking a medication called Imuran. And pentasa. I was wondering if anyone had a side effect of brain fog from one of these medications ???????

Brain fog is usually associated with prednisone, which is notorious for it. I cannot say I've heard many reports of brain fog from pentasa or imuran, not impossible but unlikely.

I felt like I started getting brain fog when I first went on Asacol. Have never gotten it from prednisone.

The fatigue the can occur with Imuran might be perceived as brain fog

Good point. Are you anemic? Have you had any blood testing to check your iron levels?
