Hi I am it as well. You people are lucky to have great medics .I was just given the prescription by the gastro, pharmacist didn't mention anything. Read the leaflet got petrified didn't take .it took me a while to decide to eventually take it. No difference in UC yet. Pentasa makes symptoms worse. Prednisone has helped previously. Very lost in this meds process. But continuing treatment
When I was prescribed it at hospital years ago, i took the prescription to the pharmacy, the pharmacist came out quite surprised and asked who the Dr was and if he'd spoken to me about the drug. He hadn't, only the pharmacist explained something about the drug to me. Like you, I read the leaflet in surprise.
They dont tell you the real sude affects. Like losing your hair. Ulcers in your mouth. Blisters on your lips. Muscle pain so bad i couldnt open a can of juice. Diarrhoea. Bloating of the tummy. Shakes. But if i dont have any of their symptoms on the list like abdominal pain then im fine.
Is it safe to eat grapefruit while taking Azathrioprine 50mg for a recent diagnosis of Poly Chonditus. I’m on week 3, I ate grapefruit and my ankles and feet are very swollen. I will call my Rheumotologist in the morning but hope to you hear a reply. Thank you

Is eating grapefruit safe with Azathioprine 50mg?
Does azathioprine affect the acitivity of the HPA axis (cortisol levels, DHEA levels), sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system, heart activity (e.g. heart rate variability)?
A highly valid question !

Can I take this when I’m pregnant
No way! It causes foetal abnormalities
