Imuran (active ingredient: azathioprine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Imuran is used for the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis to reduce signs and symptoms in adults.
  2. Renal Transplantation: It is also indicated for the prevention of rejection in kidney transplantation.

Imuran belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants, which work by inhibiting the activity of the immune system to prevent the immune response that leads to rejection in organ transplantation and to reduce inflammation in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Imuran tablets should be taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily, with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water and should not be split or crushed, as this can result in the release of the medication as dust or powder, which can cause side effects if inhaled. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dose and duration of treatment with Imuran and to report any side effects or concerns to them promptly.

The recommended dosage of Imuran (azathioprine) can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient’s response to the medication. For kidney transplantation, the typical dosing is 1 mg to 3 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, usually between 50 to 150 mg per day. For rheumatoid arthritis, the typical dosing is 1 mg per kilogram of bodyweight per day, which can be given as a single dose or divided into two doses per day.
