Imuran 50mg

IMURAN 50MG

When you undergo any organ transplant, the human body’s immune system does not accept it. The immunity system of the human body does not allow any foreign bodies to enter the body. This will help in keeping the body safe from any diseases that are caused by external bodies. But this immune system can be your enemy during any organ transplant. The new organ that is transplanted is an external body and hence your immune system will defend it. Imuran 50mg is a medicine that is used for suppressing the immune system in the human body. Usually, your body rejects the new organ. The immune system’s response is prevented and so the organ transplant will work better. 

In simple words, Imuran 50mg will work like a corticosteroid and so the survival of the transplanted organ increases. Along with that, it can also be used for treating Rheumatoid arthritis. It is a condition where the small joints in the body start to swell and cause pain. This happens due to abnormal immune system functioning. Apart from these two conditions, this medicine is prescribed for treating several other health conditions as well. Do not start using the medication without proper guidance.
