How does the Drug work
◉Azathioprine is an immunosuppressive medication that is used to treat various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, organ transplantation, and inflammatory bowel disease

Azathioprine works by blocking the proliferation of rapidly dividing cells, including those of the immune system. It specifically targets the rapidly dividing T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes, which play a critical role in the immune system’s ability to attack foreign substances and fight infections

By inhibiting the proliferation of these immune cells, azathioprine suppresses the immune system’s activity, thereby reducing inflammation and preventing the immune system from attacking the body’s own tissues. This is why azathioprine is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues and organs

Azathioprine is usually taken orally and is absorbed in the gut. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted through the kidneys. The dose and duration of treatment with azathioprine depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the medication.
