    Purinethol worked immediately after a dozen years of trying steroids and antibiotics. No perceptible side effects. Has changed my life and lifestyle. Have been able to function as a normal individual for the first time in over a dozen years. Published: May 27, 2009 ::

    Comment from: dj, 35-44 Male on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

    I am on for Colitis which I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Tried other treatments ... they worked on and off. Prednisone still the miracle drug for me - but I have been off of that for 4 months with no issues. I have been on 6MP alone with no other supplements since stopping prednisone - I have no side effects to the drug and I am finally feeling that I again live a normal life.
