Re: IMURAN

[Guest guest]

I'm not Glenda, and don't have as much experience with

Imuran as she does, but I've been on it for awhile. I

take 150 mg a day which is higher than what it would

be based solely on my weight. At 150 mg per day, I

have absolutely no problems. I take it with

breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My rheumy tried

increasing it one time, and I can't take any more than

the 150. Everything else I have tried either made me

sick, toxic, or didn't work, so I have had good

success with Imuran. Hope it works as well for you.

Love, squeek
