Zoprine 50mg Tablet

Zoprine 50mg Tablet helps to reduce the pain/inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis conditions and keep the immune system from attacking new transplant organs like kidneys. It contains Azathioprine, which works by reducing the function of the cells, causing inflammation, especially in the joint tissues thereby decreasing pain, inflammation, and slowing down the joint damage and disease progression over time. Besides this, after an organ transplant, your body will try to attack the new organ as it sees it as foreign. It helps stop your body from rejecting a new organ by suppressing your immune system. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as nausea, headaches, vomiting, diarrhoea, unusual fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, lowered resistance to infections, tingling sensation, stomach pain, leukopenia (decreased number of white blood cells), and sore throat.

  • If an underlying condition, such as infection or inflammation, contributes to the low platelet count, your doctor will treat it.
  • In some cases, alternative treatments like platelet transfusions or medications that stimulate platelet production may be necessary.
  • Avoid risky activities and certain medications; eat a balanced diet with plenty of water to reduce bleeding risk and boost overall health.
