Description
Azashine 200mg Tablet is a prescription medication containing Azathioprine as its active ingredient. Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant drug that works by suppressing the immune system’s activity. This action is beneficial in conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues or when a reduced immune response is desired, such as after organ transplantation to prevent rejection. It is also used to manage symptoms of certain autoimmune diseases.
Azashine 200mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and certain types of blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. It is also used to prevent organ transplant rejection. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s specific condition and response to therapy.
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and increased susceptibility to infections. More serious side effects, though less common, can involve bone marrow suppression (leading to reduced blood cell counts), liver problems, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Patients should inform their doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially liver or kidney disease, and any other medications they are taking.
Azashine 200mg Tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
