A member asked:
I have been taking 25mg of 6mp (together with allopurinol) for years and have just stopped. how long until the meds are out of my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not do this: Allopurinol with 6 MP or AZA are relatively contraindicated because of increased toxicity. Once you stopped the meds, they are out of your system in 2-3 days but effect may linger on
