Imuran (azathioprine) is an immunosuppressant drug used, m.in, to treat cartilage and rheumatoid arthritis. Although this drug can cause joint pain as one of the side effects, this is a rare effect and does not affect everyone. Joint pain can also result from the disease itself, and not necessarily from the drug.
It is important that you keep an eye on your symptoms and report any worrying reactions to your doctor, especially if the pain is getting worse or you develop other symptoms such as weakness, rash, fever or difficulty breathing. Do not stop the treatment yourself, as Imuran helps control inflammation and prevents further damage to the joints.
If you have concerns or concerns, it is worth consulting your rheumatologist again, who can adjust your dose or consider other treatment options. Cooperation with your doctor and regular check-ups are crucial for the safe use of this drug.
