Azoran

Product Overview

Azoran is a medication containing the active ingredient Azathioprine. It belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants, which work by suppressing the body’s immune system to prevent it from attacking healthy tissues.

Uses

Azoran is prescribed to treat various autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), lupus, and certain skin conditions like dermatomyositis and pemphigus vulgaris. It is also used in organ transplant recipients to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ.

How to Use

Azoran is usually taken orally, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage may vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to the medication. It is important to take Azoran exactly as prescribed and not to stop taking it without consulting a doctor.

How it Works

Azoran works by inhibiting the activity of certain cells in the immune system that are involved in causing inflammation and tissue damage. By suppressing the immune response, it helps reduce symptoms and prevent the progression of autoimmune diseases.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Azoran depends on factors such as the patient’s medical condition, weight, and response to treatment. It is typically started at a low dose and gradually increased to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual response and side effects. It is usually taken once or twice daily, with or without food.
