Description
Azathioprine 50mg Tablets (100’s), sourced from the U.K., contain Azathioprine, a potent immunosuppressant medication. It works as a purine analog, inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis in rapidly proliferating cells, particularly those of the immune system (T and B lymphocytes). This action suppresses the body’s immune response, making it invaluable in the management of various autoimmune diseases and in organ transplantation. Azathioprine 50mg is primarily prescribed to prevent organ rejection after kidney, liver, or heart transplants. It is also widely used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis when other treatments have been ineffective, and for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Due to its powerful immune-modulating effects, its use requires careful medical supervision, including regular blood tests to monitor for potential side effects.
