Description
Azioprine (Azathioprine) 50mg Tablets contain Azathioprine, a crucial immunosuppressant drug. It functions by suppressing the activity of the body’s immune system, primarily by inhibiting the proliferation of immune cells (T and B lymphocytes). This action is vital in preventing the immune system from attacking healthy tissues or transplanted organs. Azathioprine 50mg is predominantly prescribed to prevent organ rejection following transplantation (e.g., kidney, liver, heart). It is also widely used in the management of severe autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. These conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis, as well as certain forms of lupus and other inflammatory conditions. Due to its significant impact on the immune system, treatment with Azathioprine requires close medical supervision and regular blood tests to monitor for potential side effects and adjust dosage.
