Azathioprine (50mg)

Overview Azoprine 50mg Tablet

Azathioprine 50mg tablets are immunosuppressants, medications that prevent organ rejection after transplantation (kidney, heart, liver, etc.) and treat rheumatoid arthritis. Their mechanism involves suppressing the immune system to avoid organ attack. Dosage and frequency depend on the transplant type; strictly adhere to your physician's instructions, taking the tablet with food. Continuous use is crucial for optimal results; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Potential side effects include nausea, appetite loss, and heightened bleeding risk. Immunosuppression increases susceptibility to infections and cancer risk. Report any concerning side effects immediately. Azathioprine is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or pregnancy planning due to the risk of birth defects and miscarriage. Consult your doctor before use if you have infections, unusual bleeding, or bruising. Inform your physician of all other medications, as interactions can alter Azathioprine's efficacy. Regular blood tests will monitor blood cell counts.
