Q

AZA and bone marrow suppression- how?

A

TMPT gene produces enzyme to convert AZA to 6-MP. Lack of enzyme causes increased AZA resulting in leukopenia.

21
Q

Can AZA cause lymphoma?

A

Yes. Skin cancer from long-term use of AZA.

22
Q

AZA causes which organ to become toxic?

A

Hepatotoxicity

23
Q

MOA of MTX (immunomodulator)? (hint: 2)

A

Inhibit dihydrofolate reductase and DNA synthesis

24
Q

MTX in CD or UC

A

CD only!!

25
Q

MTX dosed how often? Route?

A

IM q week

26
Q

What else to give with MTX?

A

Folic acid

27
Q

3 ADRs of MTX?

A

Myelosuppression, hepatotoxic, nausea

28
Q

MOA of Cyclosporine (immunomodulator)?

A

Calcineurin-inhibitor

29
Q

Cyclosporine reserved for when in IBD?

A

Severe, refractory cases
