Azathioprine
side effects, nutrient depletions, herbal interactions and health notes:
Data provided by Applied Health
• There are no known nutritional considerations, at this time.1
• Based on pharmacology: Laboratory studies have reported that constituents contained in shiitake mushroom may increase immune function which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.2
• Based on pharmacology: Laboratory studies have reported that constituents contained in picrorhiza root/rhizome may increase immune function which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.3
• Based on pharmacology: Laboratory studies have reported that constituents contained in larch arabinogalactan may increase immune function which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.4
• Based on pharmacology: Human and laboratory studies have reported that constituents contained in echinacea products may increase immune function which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.5
• Based on pharmacology: Studies have reported that cat's claw has immuno-stimulatory properties which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.6
• Based on pharmacology: Laboratory studies have reported that constituents contained in calendula flowers may increase immune function which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution when taking this supplement internally.7
• Based on pharmacology: Laboratory studies have reported that constituents contained in astragalus root may increase immune function which may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.8
• Based on pharmacology: Studies have reported that arabinoxylane may increase immune function and therefore may alter the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.9
• Based on pharmacology: Studies have reported that constituents contained in St. John's wort flowers may alter the function of certain cytochrome P450 isoenzyme systems which may change the effects of Azathioprine and possibly the dose needed for treatment. A case report found that St. John's wort decreased the effects of this medication. Use with caution.10
