azathioprine and Amenorrhea

azathioprine has been researched along with Amenorrhea in 7 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Amenorrhea: Absence of menstruation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Thirty-eight patients with diffuse glomerulonephritis of systemic lupus erythematosus were randomly assigned to add cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, or nothing to low-dose corticosteroid treatment and have been followed for a mean of 21/3 years thereafter."9.04Cyclophosphamide or azathioprine in lupus glomerulonephritis. A controlled trial: results at 28 months. ( Decker, JL; Klippel, JH; Plotz, PH; Steinberg, AD, 1975)
" Chlorambucil may hold advantages over the immunosuppressive drugs normally recommended in this condition, azathioprine and cyclophosphamide, as it appears less liable to cause important marrow suppression and, unlike cyclophosphamide is not associated with alopecia and haemorrhagic cystitis."7.65Treatment of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus including nephritis with chlorambucil. ( Dunnill, MS; Halley, W; Holt, JM; Oliver, DO; Snaith, ML; Stephenson, AC, 1973)
"For patients with proliferative lupus nephritis, short-term therapy with intravenous cyclophosphamide followed by maintenance therapy with mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine appears to be more efficacious and safer than long-term therapy with intravenous cyclophosphamide."5.11Sequential therapies for proliferative lupus nephritis. ( Contreras, G; Leclercq, B; Lenz, O; O'Nan, P; Pardo, V; Roth, D; Tozman, E, 2004)

"Pemphigus vulgaris is the commonest clinical type."1.33Twelve-year clinico-therapeutic experience in pemphigus: a retrospective study of 54 cases. ( Garg, G; Mahajan, VK; Sharma, NL; Sharma, RC, 2005)
"Azathioprine was best tolerated, but gave only medium results whereas procarbazine, as a very potent drug, had the highest rate of side effects (especially depression of bone marrow, infections, gastrointestinal manifestations etc."1.25[Side effects in immunosuppressive therapy].
