Overview Azawan Tablet

Immunosuppressant medication, Azawan Tablet, is prescribed post-transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.) alongside other drugs to prevent organ rejection. It's also indicated for rheumatoid arthritis. Its mechanism involves immune system modulation, preventing the body from attacking the transplanted organ. Dosage and frequency are transplant-specific; strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Ingestion with food is recommended. Consistent use is crucial for efficacy; discontinuation elevates the risk of transplant rejection. Potential adverse effects include nausea, appetite suppression, and heightened bleeding risk. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility and cancer risk. Report any concerning side effects immediately. Azawan Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy, lactation, or pregnancy planning due to teratogenic and abortifacient potential. Consult your doctor before use if you experience infections, unusual bleeding or bruising, or are taking other medications, as interactions are possible. Regular blood tests will monitor your blood cell counts.
