What Causes Vomiting While On Azathioprine?

hi I took my 1st dose of azathioprine last night (50mg) with food. About 1hr later I started vomiting violently which lasted all night I am still nauseous with a bad headache should I try to take another dose of this med ? I have a high sensitivity to quite a few other meds. Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Vomiting is a known side effect of Azathioprine. You got it with first dose itself ... before taking next dose you should consult the treating doctor for precautions to avoid vomiting/alternative medicine.
Thanks.
