Hepavax-B Injection Hepatitis B Vaccine Azathioprine
ModerateIf you take Azathioprine, a killed (inactivated) vaccine is likely to work less well than usual. This has been seen with the Hepatitis B vaccine in people who were taking Azathioprine (sold as Imruza) together with a corticosteroid medicine. The vaccine may not build as much protection in your body as it should.
These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.
