I experience heart pain after replacing azathioprine for hcwhy
hello welcome to icliniq com what treatment did you get during catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome was your alla la test was positive azoran is an immunomodulatory drug and has some role in alla syndrome hcqs is a good drug for alla as it has an anti inflammatory plus anticoagulant effect but your symptoms started after three weeks of hcqs please try to consult your physician as he has examined you and he knows complete details so he can guide that azoran should be restarted or not according to my opinion in your case I think you should restart azoran and stop hcqs
