Review article: practical management of inflammatory bowel disease patients taking immunomodulators.

Alimentary pharmacology & therapeutics - 1 Jul 2005

Siegel C A, Sands B E

Abstract excerpt

Azathioprine, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, ciclosporin and tacrolimus all have their respective niches in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. These immunomodulators are potent and effective medications; however, they potentially have serious toxicity. To maximize benefit and minimize risk, clinicians must understand the mechanism of action, appropriate indications, range of toxicity and proper dosing of...
