Azathioprine (50mg)

Overview Azafly 50mg Tablet

Immunosuppressant Azathioprine (Azafly 50mg) is prescribed post-transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.) to prevent organ rejection, often in conjunction with other medications. It's also indicated in rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Azathioprine functions by reducing immune system activity, preventing the body from attacking the transplanted organ. Dosage and frequency are transplant-specific; strictly adhere to your physician's guidelines. Administer with food. Consistent use is vital for optimal results; discontinuation increases organ rejection risk. Potential adverse effects are numerous. Common ones include appetite loss, nausea, and heightened bleeding risk. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility and cancer risk. Report any concerning side effects immediately to your doctor. Azathioprine poses significant risks during pregnancy and breastfeeding, causing birth defects and miscarriage. Inform your doctor of any infections, unusual bruising/bleeding, or other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Regular blood tests will monitor blood cell counts.

These include organ transplant rejection (kidney, heart, liver), chronic active hepatitis, severe rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and acquired hemolytic anemia. It also treats severe skin conditions (pemphigus vulgaris, dermatomyositis, polyarteritis nodosa, pyoderma gangrenosa), particularly when corticosteroids are unsuitable.
