IMURAN TABS 50mg GSK (Azathioprine)

Description

Imuran Tablets 50mg by GSK (Azathioprine) is a potent immunosuppressant medication belonging to the thiopurine class, used to prevent organ rejection following kidney, liver, and heart transplantation, and to treat severe autoimmune conditions. It works by inhibiting purine synthesis, thereby suppressing the proliferation of both T and B lymphocytes, reducing the immune system’s ability to mount an attack against transplanted organs or the body’s own tissues in autoimmune disorders. Commonly prescribed for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and myasthenia gravis, it is often used in combination with corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents for optimal therapeutic effect. Being a GSK product, it requires careful medical supervision with regular monitoring of complete blood count and liver function tests due to its potential for bone marrow suppression, hepatotoxicity, and increased susceptibility to infections during therapy.
