Azathioprine Tablets IP
Azathioprine Tablets IP is an immunosuppressive medicine used to control immune-system activity and help prevent organ rejection after kidney transplantation.
Product Details
Azathioprine Tablets IP contains azathioprine, an immunosuppressive medicine that reduces excessive immune-system activity. It is commonly used as part of combination therapy after kidney transplantation to help prevent the body's immune system from attacking the transplanted organ. It may also be prescribed for certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions under specialist supervision.

How It Works
Azathioprine is converted in the body into active metabolites that interfere with the production of DNA and RNA in rapidly dividing immune cells. By limiting the multiplication of certain lymphocytes, it reduces immune-system activity and helps prevent immune-mediated damage to transplanted organs.
Common Side Effects
- Nausea

- Diarrhea

Important Information
Azathioprine Tablets IP should be used only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor blood cell counts and liver function because azathioprine can cause bone marrow suppression and liver-related complications. Patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy may have an increased risk of infections and certain cancers. Inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking, particularly other immunosuppressants or medicines that may affect blood counts. Do not stop treatment suddenly without medical advice.
