Brief Answer:
Azoran could be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Azoran contains azathioprine which has very wide side effect profile. Both increased frequency of stools and muscle weakness could be a effect of azathioprine. These side effects do subside over time, may take 2 to 3 weeks for the same. if continue even after a month there rises a suspicion of colitis which is a rare long term side effect of azathioprine.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
