What is Azathioprine used for?

IMURAN 50 MG tablets are primarily used to suppress the immune system, often in organ transplant patients to prevent rejection. They may also be prescribed for autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, where the immune system attacks healthy tissues. Azathioprine works by reducing the activity of immune cells, helping to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
