Purinethol Reviews

For Autoimmune Hepatitis "On azathioprine for 6 months but it suppressed my bone marrow and my platelet levels fell dangerously low. The azathioprine dose was reduced but my liver readings shot up. Was put on mercaptopurine 2 months ago and since then all levels have returned to normal."
