    Imuran and Cellcept are 2 of the most widely used and tolerated meds. I have trouble with many meds, from cosmetics to heart meds so it’s no surprise I had trouble with these, unfortunately. They are older, well tolerated, solid drugs with a long track record. Imuran caused a bout of pancreatitis. The doctors were wheeling me out to go to surgery and I asked if Imuran caused the pain. Very dramatic, but they checked and admitted me for observation and the pain went away. So I had to switch to infusions which are much less convenient. Imuran most likely will work well for you and spare you infusions. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
