📋Overview
Azathioprine is an immunosuppressive medication that works by decreasing the activity of the body's immune system. It is commonly associated with conditions where immune system suppression is desired, such as autoimmune diseases and organ transplantation. The drug is often used in the management of disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and to prevent organ rejection. Its effects help control abnormal immune responses that can damage tissues or transplanted organs.
