6-thioguanine treatment in inflammatory bowel disease: A critical appraisal by a European 6-TG working party [PDF]
Recently, the suggestion to use 6-thioguanine (6-TG) as an alternative thiopurine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been discarded due to reports about possible (hepato) toxicity. During meetings arranged in Vienna and Prague in 2004,
