Imuran

Imuran, also known as azathioprine, is a medication used to suppress the immune system. It helps prevent the body from attacking itself in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, and is also used to prevent organ rejection after transplant. Imuran works by reducing the activity of certain immune cells, thereby decreasing inflammation and immune responses. It’s important to use it under medical supervision because it can affect bone marrow, liver, and increase infection risk. Regular tests are typically required to monitor health while taking this medication.
