Description
Imuran is an immunosuppressive medication classified as a purine analog, primarily used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. It is available as an oral tablet and requires a prescription. Patients are advised to monitor for signs of infection, as Imuran can increase the risk of serious infections due to its immunosuppressive effects.
