Hi I was wondering if anyone has been on both Imuran and 6mp.  I am having significant hairloss from Imuran and they are talking about switching me to 6mp and I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.  Will 6mp keep my as well as the Imuran is?  I am scared to switch because I don't want to 'rock the boat'!!!  Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

6MP and Imuran are very similar. I can't remember which, but one metabolizes into the other.

I do know there are some people on the forum who have switched from one to the other for various reasons - hopefully one of them will respond with more info :)

Hi, thanks, the nurse said that they switch people to 6mp who are having hair loss on imuran.  Wish me luck, I think that I am switching tomorrow!!!
