Azatend 100mg Injection is a medication containing Azathioprine as its active ingredient. Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant, meaning it works by suppressing the body’s immune system. This action is crucial in preventing the body from rejecting transplanted organs and in managing certain autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. By reducing the activity of immune cells, Azatend helps to control inflammation and prevent further damage to organs and tissues.
Azatend 100mg Injection is indicated for the prevention of organ rejection in patients receiving a kidney, heart, or liver transplant. It is also used in the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), and certain types of blood disorders. The dosage and administration of Azatend 100mg Injection should be strictly determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, response to treatment, and other individual factors. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, bone marrow suppression (leading to reduced blood cell counts), increased risk of infection, and liver problems. Patients should be closely monitored for these effects. Storage instructions typically involve keeping the injection at room temperature, away from light and moisture.
