Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Hi, I was dx with AIH in 2002 and for the last 1 1/2 years I have taken 175 mg Imuran not generic and for the last about 6 months I believe 5 mg of predisone. My levels have been good the last 6 months except one month slightly elevated but I was under a lot of stress because of my 17 year old daughter any one with a teenager can relate I am sure most the time she is wonderful but there are those other times any how they went back down when things cooled down. Jen [ ] Increased imuran Hi, I have been away from this group for about 2 years. I know someone out there will have some answers. I have had AIH since 1999, and was doing well until 2005 when I had breast cancer and the meds. caused my liver numbers to go up and I have been on 15mg. predisone and 150 imuran. I order to decrease predisone my Doctor has increased imuran to 175 down to 12 predisone labs in month, then 10 for month labs, the maybe 5. I am have a lot of swelling. Is anyone taking this much imura? ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today. Breaking news, video search, pictures, email and IM. All on demand.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 I was diagnosed with PBC/AIH in 2/2003. The hepatologist built me up to 150 mg. of Imuran. I stayed at that dosage for 2 years. As my liver panel has remained in the normal range for 2 years, he slowly decreased the dosage. I am happily at 50 mg daily. Of course I take 1200 mg of Urso for the PBC. Good Luck!
