  • Therapeutic Effects of Azolyst 50mg Tablet

    Azolyst 50mg tablet involves being converted into an active metabolite called 6-mercaptopurine within the body. 6-mercaptopurine is a purine analog, and it interferes with the synthesis of DNA and RNA in rapidly dividing cells, including immune cells. This disruption of nucleic acid synthesis suppresses the activity of the immune system by inhibiting the proliferation of immune cells. As a result, this medication reduces the production of antibodies and immune cells responsible for attacking the body's tissues in autoimmune diseases. The immunosuppressive effect helps to alleviate inflammation and control the symptoms of autoimmune conditions while also preventing the body from rejecting transplanted organs.
