Most treatment strategies listed here are based on anecdotal evidence and personal experience.
Side effects are common.
In doses used for neuromuscular disorders side effects are not common. Azathioprine provides long-term immunosuppression with relatively few side effects.

It can be useful when corticosteroids or Cyclosporine A are ineffective or contraindicated.
