Yep, it’s a rugged drug. I was on so etching similar, mercaptopurine or 6mp for short. Had constant boils, lung problems bad enough to end up in er, mouth sores, and some other things too- was not a pleasant drug to be on. The prednisone wasn’t too bad for me- had to be on it for long periods a few times, but others do suffer from just that drug too.

Methotrexate and 6mp are both chemo drugs if I recall right.

They are. Who would take chemo to get some hair growth. Seems like a bad plan.

Methotrexate is definitely a chemo drug, not sure about prednisone.
Method was so potent I had to have blood tests every week before I got the shot.

Hated being stuck drawing blood, hating waiting for the results and hated getting the shot.

Miserable situation.
