Directions for Use

This is a prescription medicine used under specialist supervision. Dosage is determined by your prescribing doctor based on your weight, condition and blood test results. Do not adjust it yourself. Tablets are usually taken once or twice daily with or after food to reduce nausea, at the same times each day. Regular blood-count and liver monitoring is essential, especially in the first months. Attend every test. Do not stop suddenly without your specialist's advice.

Report promptly any fever, sore throat, unusual bruising or bleeding, or signs of infection. Azathioprine lowers blood counts in some patients. Avoid live vaccines during treatment, and limit sun exposure with sunscreen, as long-term use raises skin cancer risk. Tell your doctor about all medicines. Allopurinol in particular requires a major dose reduction. Nausea, tiredness and hair thinning can occur. Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding only under specialist guidance. Store below 25°C protected from light. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement. Keep all medicines out of reach of children.
