A member asked:
When is it necessary to take imuran (azathioprine) for lupus? and do i have to take it if i have normal wbc counts .. why to take it if no leucocytosis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Azathioprine is often added when lupus cannot be controlled with meds such as Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine). The white count has nothing to do with its use.
