A member asked:

How long does it take for imuran and plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) to completely leave your system if you stop them after taking thrm for 1 month ??

Med clearance: Medicine elimination incorporates liver and kidney clearance pathways. Imuran is cleared in 5 days but its bone marrow effects can linger longer - up to 15-20 days. Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is also cleared in about 5 days, and its biological effects dissipate over 7-10 days.

Differ: Imuran (azathioprine) is cleared fairly rapidly and will be gone. Placquenil takes 15 plus or minus 6 days to clear and thus will be gone too.
