What are the possible SIDE EFFECTS of Generic Imuran? The most common serious side effects of Generic Imuran involve the blood elements and gastrointestinal system. Generic Imuran can cause serious lowering of the white blood cell count, resulting in an increased risk of infections. This can reverse when the dose is reduced or temporarily discontinued. Generic Imuran can cause nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which can resolve when the dose is reduced or divided through the day. Generic Imuran can also cause liver toxicity (in less than 1% of rheumatoid arthritis patients).

What other drugs can INTERACT with Generic Imuran? Generic Imuran can cause an increase in cancer risk when used long-term. This particular risk increases in patients with a prior history of treatment with other powerful immunosuppressants, such as Cytoxan, Leukeran, and Alkeran. It also increases the risk of serious infections. Azathioprine can impair fertility by reducing sperm counts in males. Because Generic Imuran's toxicity increases when taken with the gout medication allopurinol (Zyloprim), its dose is reduced with simultaneous use. Severely low white blood counts can occur when taken with other drugs that can affect the bone marrow or with ACE-inhibitor class drugs used to treat elevated blood pressure, such as Accupril and Vasotec. The safety and effectiveness for use in children has not been established.
