WHAT APO-AZATHIOPRINE IS USED FOR
Azathioprine is used to prevent your
body from rejecting a transplanted organ,
like kidney and liver. It is also used to
treat symptoms where control of the
immunity system is required.
Apo-Azathioprine is usually taken in
combination with other medicines such
as corticosteroids or other
immunosuppressive medicines
HOW APO-AZATHIOPRINE WORKS
Apo-Azathioprine contains azathioprine,
which is a type of immunosuppressant. It
works by lowering your body's immune
system.
The immune system helps your body
fight infections; however, the immune
system can also fight or "reject" a
transplanted organ such as a liver or
kidney. This is because the immune
system treats the new organ as an
invader. Azathioprine is used to prevent
your body from rejecting a transplanted
kidney. It also works in particular cases
where the immune system requires
adjustment.
