Answer:
Interaction Btw Allopurinol & Azathioprine
AZA is Metabolised into 6-MP (6 Mercapto-Purine) . 6-MP Is The Active Form Of AZA
Normally , 6-MP Is INACTIVATED By Xanthine Oxidase
Allopurinol is Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor That Prevents The Deactivation Of 6-MP And Thus , Increases The Toxic Effect Of It Causing Severe Life-Threatening Bone Marrow Suppression & Pancytopenia
This Interaction is Very Important Because Hyperuricemea is Common Among People With IBD + Azathioprine is COMMONLY Used In IBD (It's Also Used In Kidney Transplant , But Less Common Since Cyclosporin & Tacrolimus Do Better)

بصراحة استغرب أن مثل هذا الكلام يطلع من "طبيب" (:
@DrLalibrahim حلوة الصورة ، عذر جيد جدا عشان نقول ما لا يليق لا شرعا ولا أخلاقيا بحجة انه "ما يهمني راي الناس"
Keep Convincing Yourself That What You're Doing Is Correct Just Because People Are Against You

@md1talk Brucella Tx:
Doxy
Genta
Refampin
Bactrim
Ceftriaxone
Always Start 1+2, Then Replace 2 By 3
Spondylitis & IE & CNS = Serious Infection => Use All 3 Initially
BUT In CNS, Use 5 Instead Of 2 (Better Availability)
Age<8: Same Above, But Use 4 Instead Of 1
Pregnent: Avoid 1,2,4
