All drugs have complications in some patients. Allergic or toxic reactions may occur to any drug in an individual patient. Prednisone has many possible side effects, some of which include altered mood, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, cataracts, thin skin with easy bruising, swollen cheeks, increased appetite and weight gain, difficulty sleeping and others. Imuran (azathioprine) may cause hepatitis (inflamed liver), pancreatitis, low white blood cell count.
