Can wait a bit: Azapress is known as azathioprine - it is an immunosuppressive drug that is used in many conditions including uc. This agent has a delayed onset of action and at 6 months of therapy was shown to have approximately a 75% remission rate in uc. In many cases, patients given aza have failed steroids or are steroid dependent. It is more appropriate for maintenance of remission rather than treatment.
