Description
Azathioprine 50 mg tablets contain azathioprine, an immunosuppressive medication.
It is primarily used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients and to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis.
Azathioprine works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA in immune cells, which reduces the activity of the immune system and helps prevent it from attacking the body’s own tissues or a transplanted organ.
The tablets are taken orally, with dosage tailored by a healthcare provider based on the condition being treated and the patient’s response.
Common side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, increased risk of infections, and potential bone marrow suppression leading to low blood cell counts.
It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to azathioprine or related drugs. Regular monitoring of blood counts and liver function is recommended during treatment.
Patients should follow dosing instructions carefully and avoid abrupt discontinuation unless directed by a healthcare professional.
Store tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture, out of reach of children.
