Faq:
Q. What is Azothron prescribed for? How does it work?
Azothron is an immunosuppressant which means that it acts by suppressing the immune defence system of the body. Your immune defence system helps to protect you against infections. However, sometimes your immune defence system can become overactive and can cause illness. Azothron is used in combination with other medicines to treat the conditions caused due to this abnormal activity of the immune system. It is used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, like kidney, heart or liver. It is also used to treat chronic active hepatitis, severe rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and acquired hemolytic anemia. It is also used to treat severe cases of specified skin diseases (pemphigus vulgaris, dermatomyositis, polyarteritis nodosa, pyoderma gangrenosa), especially when corticosteroids cannot be used.
Q. How long does Azothron take to start working?
It may take about 3 to 12 weeks before you see any benefits. Continue the medication even if you do not notice any benefits. Talk to your doctor if you face any issues.
Q. What happens if I forget to take Azothron?
If you miss a dose of Azothron, take it as soon as you remember. However, skip the missed dose if it is time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed dose. inform your doctor if the dose is frequently missed.

Q. I have just started taking azathioprine. What are the long-term side effects? Is there anything I should be looking out for?

The frequency can later be reduced to monthly or at least once in 3 months time.
