Overview Azoalfa 50 Tablet

Azathioprine 50mg tablets are immunosuppressants, prescribed alongside other medications to prevent organ rejection post-transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.). This medication also treats rheumatoid arthritis. Its mechanism involves suppressing the immune system to prevent the body from attacking the transplanted organ. Dosage and frequency depend on the specific transplant and should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer with food. Consistent use is vital for optimal efficacy; discontinuation increases the risk of transplant rejection. Numerous side effects exist, common ones including appetite loss, nausea, and heightened bleeding risk. Immunosuppression elevates infection susceptibility and cancer risk. Report any concerning side effects immediately to your doctor. Azathioprine can cause birth defects and miscarriage; avoid use during pregnancy, preconception, or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor prior to use if experiencing infections, unusual bruising/bleeding, or if you're on other medications, as significant drug interactions can occur. Regular blood tests will monitor blood cell counts.
