Question: is azathioprine used for crohn disease?
Answer: Azathioprine is a drug used to treat both Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis – the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). You may be given azathioprine if you keep getting flare-ups even though you are on other medicines for your Crohn's or Colitis, or to help you cut down on steroids.
