    Tecfidera + Azathioprine???

    I am on azathioprine to control my colitis. I have not been able to start a DMT due to being on this drug b/c it beats down my immune system and could cause risks w/ other ms drugs. My new specialist is suggesting I start Tecfidera and monitor things closely.

    Any chance that someone here has taken Tecfidera and Azathioprine together? Or any DMT and Azathioprine?

    thanks

        A little update to my post about tecfidera together with Azathioprine

        We never know which one is our best way to follow I'm totally confused I get in the treatment to tecfidera for MS abut 2 years, then into azathioprine for lupus about 6 months and Chlorpromazine HCL for my nerve system about a month ago, I have a routine blood work done and my Rheumatology doctor nurse call me to tell me the doctor want me to stop the azathioprine because my white blood cell is some kind of low. On my appoitment day to see my Rheumatology my diagnostic was Lekopenia and macrocytosis without anemia. I was very concern and I call my neurology doctor to find out if I need to stop the tecfidera too, he told me not to stop the tecfidera , he will monitorize my white blood cell more often. I didn't let know my phyquiatric doctor yet in case if he want to stop Chlorpromazine HCL . I search the internet and I find those three medication can cause lekopenia. I'm already feel some kind of sick like sore throat, bowel acting up, hot flashes, headaches , dryness on my eyes , blisters on my mouth. I don't know what to do. But this my update guys.....
