Azathioprine Side Effects

[Adelie]

Hello, does anyone have feedback on the side-effects of Azathioprine please? I know everyone is different but after suffering debilitating Prednisone side-effects, curious as to whether Azathioprine is better/worse? Thank you!

i took both for 10 years. Main side effect is higher risk of infection from suppressed immune system. Read the pamphlet for more info and asked your pharmacist since meds often interact with each other and will vary according to what medical problems you have.
