Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant drug used to treat certain chronic diseases characterized by overactive immune systems, such as autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. It works by reducing the activity of immune cells that cause inflammation, thus alleviating symptoms and protecting body tissues from damage. It is also used in some cases after organ transplants to prevent organ rejection.
Azathioprine is also effective when used under medical supervision, helping control disease progression and reduce reliance on corticosteroids, which can cause severe side effects. Regular use according to medical instructions can improve a patient's quality of life and reduce complications associated with overactive immune systems. It is an important and reliable treatment option in the long-term plan to control autoimmune diseases and support health stability.
