Product introduction

Azotas
75 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called immunosuppressants. It
is used with other medicines to prevent your body from rejecting an
organ (such as a kidney, heart, or liver) after a transplant. It is also
used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Azotas 75 Tablet
works by weakening the body’s immune system, so it does not attack the
new organ. The amount of medicine to be taken and how often you need to
take it will depend on the type of transplant you have. Follow your
doctor’s instructions on this. You should take it along with food. Take
the medicine regularly to get the most benefit and keep taking it even
if you feel well. If you stop taking it, you may increase the chances of
rejecting your transplanted organ.

It has many potential side
effects. The most common are loss of appetite, nausea, and increased
risk of bleeding. Because it suppresses your immune system, you may
catch infections easily. There’s also an increased risk of developing
some cancers for this reason. You should ask your doctor about side
effects that may need urgent medical attention.

Azotas 75 Tablet
can cause birth defects and miscarriages so do not take it if you are
pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. You should talk
to your doctor before taking this medicine if you have any signs of
infection or if you have any unexpected bruising or bleeding. Your
doctor also needs to know what other medicines you are taking as there
are many which interact with this medicine and affect the way it works.
You will have regular tests to check for any changes in the number of
your blood cells.

Benefits of Azotas Tablet

In Prevention of organ rejection in transplant patients

Azotas
75 Tablet is an immunosuppressive agent that lowers your immune
response and reduces the chance of your body attacking the transplanted
organ. Organ rejection happens when your immune system treats the new
organ as an invader and attacks it. This medicine may be used in
combination with other medicines to suppress the immune system and help
your body accept the new organ.

inflammation. It can help reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in your
joints and slow down the progression of bone and joint damage. This will
help you do normal daily activities more easily and thus improve your
quality of life. This medicine should be taken at the same time each day
to get maximum benefits. Keep taking it even if you feel well because
it is preventing future harm as well as improving your symptoms.
