oblong with above imprint ## This tablet contains 50mgs of Azathioprine, a generic for Imuran, this is used for immune suppression. This is commonly used by people who have had organ transplants. You can read more on it here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Thank you - I thought that might be what it was, but my current generic Imuran that I take for rheumatoid looks nothing like that.

My husband was diagnosed with lupus in july 2007. he was put on prenisone and then in January 2008 he started on cellcept. after this many months he started with diareha. he had a colonoscopy to rule out other problems. the doctor was sure that the diarehia was from the cellcelp. he stopped the cellcept this past friday. will my husband have withdrawal and will the diarehia stop. should they start another type of therapy in place of the cellcep. ## I have been on cellcept for nearly 5 years now(kidney transplant). Your husband's diareha can be from the cellcept. I went off of cellcept when I got pregnant with my son. After I had him I had to go back on cellcept and I got diareha, I remember when I first started cellcept I had it also. I hope this helps.

My doctor said to mean that I did not get the 3 weeks of migranes, plus from the Remicaid but it happens everytime. Now my big toes are numb. wonder if it is going to spread up? ## Unfortunately, most doctors DO NOT know all the side effect details of the drugs they prescribe, they only go by the basic information they have been told by the drug representatives who are trying to get them to prescribe their company's medications. That said, headaches are a VERY COMMON side effect of this medication. I found a page from the manufacturer with more information for you, here's the link: Remicade Click Here

My wife hast been suffering with Colitis and Hiatal hernia for some time The bleedind associated with it is troubling. ## I am assuming, with those conditions, that she is under regular doctor's care, and if so, they are monitoring the situation, and if it reaches a problem point, they will know how to treat it and what to do. So I would guess that as long as she keeps her doc visits, you can relax and while you will always worry, just keep supporting her and make sure she keeps her docs appointments, and worry a little less.

My family needs help with our mom. She seems to get violent & nasty & downright evil after her Remicade treatments. Please, could anybody tell me if this is a side effect & what could we do. She has pushed us all away. ## I am not like that at all after my infusion. Actually, I am the opposite. Perhaps there is another issue, such as where she is having it done, if sh eis uncomfortable during the infusion, etc. Your post does not clarify whether this is just for a little while immediately following the infusion, or for weeks afterwards. ## this drug can make you fly off the handle. too many drugs together don't work right. unbalanced perceptions, behavior, mood changes. ## blood tests are needed on all medications. too much medications you get sick. one med overpowers on...
