Pardon if this is a hijack of a thread, but does anyone know what azathioprine is for?
there are many books out now that list all prescription drugs - my favorite is "The Pill Book" out often with new drugs updated...it's in paperback and inexpensive, so I buy every couple years...Very handy to have on hand.
There are 3 drugs now that were prescribed to me in the past few years that I declined to take after researching th side effects.
these have now all been pulled off the market! - because they kill people - and most do harm to the heart. (The ONLY meds I take are Enalopril for heart and Fosomax for osteoporosis.
You can now, also, research drugs on line - don't rely on sites that are selling them, or the drug companies themselves. Look at more than one medical evaluation...
I've come to the conclusion that we need to educate ourselves as much as we can...the drug co.s don't' worry about what they push o us, and the FDA is in bed with them - and unless you are fortunate to find an honest and good doc, they'll push drugs too. (The "Legal Drug Pushers", I call 'em.) I am fortunate, I finally found a great doctor -
JUST SAY NO.
