Product Description
Azanol Tablet is an immunosuppressant medication used primarily to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs, such as kidneys, hearts, or livers. It is also prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Azanol works by suppressing the body’s immune system, which helps prevent it from attacking the new organ after a transplant.
For transplant patients, Azanol is often used in combination with other medications to ensure the success of the transplant. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of Azanol, as these will vary depending on the type of transplant. The medication should be taken with food to reduce the chances of stomach upset, and you should take it consistently, even if you feel well. Stopping the medication could increase the risk of organ rejection.

How Azanol Tablet Works:
Azanol Tablet works by reducing the activity of the immune system. As an immunosuppressant, it lowers the body’s defense mechanisms to prevent it from attacking the transplanted organ. This is essential in preventing organ rejection after transplants. Additionally, Azanol blocks certain chemical messengers responsible for inflammation, swelling, and redness, making it effective in treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
