Reviews for Azathioprine to treat Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Imuran (azathioprine): Imuran greatly improved my systemic lupus erthematous (SLE) symptoms. I have neurological involvement and before this medicine my right foot was paralyzed. I can now walk thanks to this. I had blood work and all my values are normal now which was not the case before. I do not have any side effects either. It has been a lifesaver for me.

Imuran (azathioprine): Imuran caused a 10 day hospital stay for me. I was on it about 2 weeks, started running a fever of 104, had chills, very short of breath. I was treated for regular flu, swine flu, tested for all sorts of other breathing problems.

Imuran (azathioprine): Worked well at higher doses but affected my liver functions so had to cut back on dosage. Helps on lower dosage but not as well.
