IBS drugs called
thiopurines,
cause a 7-fold risk of blood and bone marrow diseases’ like leukaemia and multiple myeloma, according to a study conducted by researchers from the
University Hospital of Nancy-Brabois in France and published in the journal
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
The drugs reduce the inflammatory response in
IBS, Crohn’s, colitis and other digestive diseases.
Research followed 19,486 people who were participating in the Cancers Et Surrisque Associe aux Maladies inflammatoires intestinales En France study, which took place between May 2004 and June 2005. Three years later, the researchers followed up to see which patients had been diagnosed with myeloid disorders, including myeloid leukaemia and the bone marrow disorder myelodysplastic syndrome.
