Azathioprine (50mg)

Overview Zioprin 50mg Tablet

Azathioprine 50mg tablets are immunosuppressants, medications used alongside others to prevent organ rejection post-transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.). They're also indicated for rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Azathioprine 50mg functions by suppressing the immune system, minimizing the body's attack on transplanted organs. Dosage and frequency depend on the specific transplant and should strictly follow physician instructions. Administer with food. Consistent use maximizes benefits; continuation is crucial even with symptom improvement, as cessation raises organ rejection risk. Numerous side effects exist; 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 50mg is contraindicated in pregnancy, planned pregnancy, and breastfeeding due to teratogenic and miscarriage risks. Discuss its use with your physician if you have infections, unusual bleeding or bruising, or take other medications, as interactions are possible. Regular blood tests will monitor blood cell counts.
