IMMUNOMODULATING (medicine)THERAPIES FOR NEUROMUSCULAR DISORDERS (looking for Imuran)

Well, I know I’ve referenced the NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE CENTER
Washington University, St. Louis, MO USA website before. But,

I was looking for side effects of CIDP when I found this page discussing medication choices.

I liked this part in particular in relation to Imuran (generic azathioprine). “…Increased risk of malignancy Not demonstrated in neuromuscular autoimmune disease patients…”

Yeaah, I’m happy to hear it.

Here’s your choices:

Overview
Medications
Treatment strategies

Azathioprine
Corticosteroids
Cyclophosphamide
Cyclosporine A
Intravenous immunoglobulin
Methotrexate
Mycophenolate mofetil
Plasma exchange
Rituxan

I followed that page back to an Index of sorts:
