Azathioprine Tablets Ip 

Azathioprine is a prescription medication. It comes in two forms: an oral tablet and an injectable solution.

Azathioprine oral tablet is available as the brand-name drugs Imuran and Azasan. It’s also available in a generic version. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand-name versions. In some cases, they may not be available in every strength or form as brand-name drugs.

This drug may be used as part of a combination therapy. That means you may need to take it with other drugs.

Why it’s used

Azathioprine is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It’s also used to keep your immune system from attacking a newly transplanted kidney.

When you receive a kidney transplant, your immune system views the kidney as something that doesn’t belong in your body. This may cause your body to attack the kidney, which can lead to serious health problems or death. Azathioprine is used to stop your immune system from attacking your new kidney.

In RA, your body attacks your joints, which can cause swelling, pain, and loss of function. Azathioprine is used to stop your immune system from attacking your joints.

How it works

Azathioprine belongs to a class of drugs called immunosuppressants. A class of drugs is a group of medications that work in a similar way. These drugs are often used to treat similar conditions.

Azathioprine works by decreasing the activity of your body’s immune system. For RA, this keeps your immune system from attacking and damaging your joints. For a kidney transplant, the drug keeps your immune system from attacking the newly transplanted kidney.
