Azathioprine in myasthenia Gravis:

**An initial dose of 50 mg/d is given for about a week to test for these side effects. If this dose is tolerated, it is increased gradually to about 2–3 mg/kg of total body weight, or until the white blood count falls to 3000–4000/μL.

**The beneficial effect of azathioprine can take a year or more to become evident. Approximately 10–15% of patients are unable to tolerate azathioprine because of idiosyncratic reactions consisting of flulike symptoms of fever and malaise, bone marrow suppression, or abnormalities of liver function.
