Imuran® 50mg (Azathioprine) 100 tablets

Imuran is the brand name for the drug azathioprine, which belongs to a class of medications called immunosuppressants. It is used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs and to treat certain autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease.

The active ingredient in Imuran, azathioprine, works by suppressing the immune system to prevent it from attacking transplanted organs or attacking the body’s own tissues in autoimmune diseases.

Imuran comes in tablet form and is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the medication. The dosage is usually determined by a healthcare provider and may be adjusted over time based on the patient’s response.

Some common side effects of Imuran include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, and increased risk of infections. Rare but serious side effects may include liver damage, bone marrow suppression, and an increased risk of certain cancers.
