How Does Azathioprine Work?

Azathioprine (50mg) works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA in immune cells. This reduces the production of white blood cells, which are responsible for inflammation and autoimmunity. By doing so, AZATHIOPRIME 50 helps control the overactive immune system and limits the damage it causes.
