Overview Azotrim 50mg Tablet

Immunosuppressant Azotrim (50mg tablets) is prescribed post-organ transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.), in conjunction with other medications, to mitigate organ rejection. It's also employed in rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Its mechanism involves immune system suppression, preventing the body from attacking the transplanted organ. Dosage and frequency vary depending on the transplant type; always adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer with food, maintaining consistent intake for optimal efficacy; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Potential side effects include nausea, appetite loss, and heightened bleeding risk. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility and cancer risk. Report any concerning side effects immediately to your doctor. Azotrim is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or pregnancy planning due to risks of birth defects and miscarriage. Inform your physician of any infections, unusual bleeding/bruising, or concurrent medications (many interact with Azotrim), before commencing treatment. Regular blood tests will monitor blood cell counts.

It also treats severe cases of certain skin diseases (pemphigus vulgaris, dermatomyositis, polyarteritis nodosa, pyoderma gangrenosa), particularly when corticosteroids are unsuitable.
