| k&s, LOL no problem, I was (and remain) a little confused myself! I don't understand the connection between immunosuppressant drugs and pancreatitis, but it looks like there's some indication that there may be one since azathioprin was mentioned on the Merck site. Prednisone is both an anti-inflammatory and an immune suppressant, but as far as I understand, it doesn't pack quite the wallop that azathioprin does as an immune suppressant.
spidey - I just checked prednisone on rxlist.com and it does list pancreatitis as a possible gastrointestinal side effect of its use. |
