Usage, Directions, Indication and Instructions

This is used with other medications to prevent rejection of kidney transplants. It is also used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis (a condition in which the body attacks its own joints, causing pain and swelling) when other medications and treatments have not helped. This is also used to treat ulcerative colitis (a condition in which sores develop in the intestine causing pain and diarrhea).

Adverse Reactions, Precautions and Warning

This can cause a decrease in the number of blood cells in your bone marrow. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: unusual bleeding or bruising; excessive tiredness; pale skin; headache; confusion; dizziness; fast heartbeat; difficulty sleeping; weakness; shortness of breath; and sore throat, fever, chills, and other signs of infection. Your doctor will order tests before, during, and after your treatment to see if your blood cells are affected by this drug. Taking this may increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, especially skin cancer and lymphoma. You should know that this may decrease your ability to fight infection. Stay away from people who are sick, and wash your hands often.

Dosage and Administration

This is usually taken once or twice a day after meals. To help you remember to take, take it around the same time(s) every day. If you take this to treat rheumatoid arthritis, your doctor may start you on a low dose and gradually increase your dose after 6-8 weeks and then not more than once every 4 weeks. If you are to prevent kidney transplant rejection, your doctor may start you on a high dose and decrease your dose gradually as your body adjusts to the transplant.

Important

This controls rheumatoid arthritis but does not cure it. It may take some time before you feel the full benefit. This prevents transplant rejection only as long as you are taking this. Continue taking this even if you feel well. Do not stop without talking to your doctor.

Take only under doctors directions.
