A out of system

How long does it take for Imuran to completely get out of your system? Do I need to ween?


I have been on 100mg of Imuran for 7 months and am going to ween off of it. I don't agree with why I went on it in the first place, when asacol was fine. My husband and I are going to TTC in a few months and my GYNO thinks I need to be off of it before trying. My colon is completely healed and has been since March. I plan on staying on a high dose of alsacol during pregnancy.

Thanks for your advice.

I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of getting UC!!!!!!!! urg

I'm pretty sure you don't need to wean off it and the literature says that most people that stop Imuran/6mp, within a 2 week period can start seeing symptoms returning. You really should talk to your GI about all this though.
