Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / June 2006re drugs for AI illnesses
http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40024874/ Here is a link to a page of what they call DMARDs... or disease modifying agents for rheumatoid disease symptoms.... something like that.. it has penacillamine, chloroquine, methotrexate and all the sulphas and immuno suppressing category etc.... actually interesting to know this stuff. hope this helps more? hugs, Shelagh http://clik.to/lupus FYI Azathioprine is included in the list, aka, Imuran. TPMT Liver functions should be checked before starting Imuran. TPMT stands for thiopurine S-methyltransferase and is the primary enzyme responsible for thiopurine drug-based metabolism (Imuran/azathioprine is a thiopurine drug). If a patient has low TPMT enzyme activity they are at high risk for dosage-related side effects. The test is TPMT Mutation Analysis.
