If you look up/read Imuran information, the known side effects list has - pancreatitis which is inflammation of the pancreas. Thats why, there are frequent blood tests when Imuran is first started....
Yes, imuran has been a scary medicine for us. Our daughter was prescribed it last year when she was 3 and it gave her pancreatitis and a 10-day trip to the hospital. She is thankfully off it now....
very real dilemma indeed. On one side, there is this dreaded chronic disease and the other side a very valid question on whether the meds(in any amount) are helping or not. I am in the same boat as...
