Thioprine 50 contains azathioprine as the active ingredient. Azathioprine belongs
to a group of medicines called immunosuppressants.
This medicine is used to help prevent the rejection of a transplanted organ such as
a kidney, liver or heart. It works by suppressing the body's immune defence system.
Thioprine 50 can also be used to treat other diseases called autoimmune diseases where
your immune system is reacting against your own body.
These may include:
severe rheumatoid arthritis
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
chronic active hepatitis
certain skin, muscle and blood diseases.
Thioprine 50 is usually taken in combination with other medicines such as corticosteroids
or other immunosuppressive drugs.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed
for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.
This medicine is not addictive.
This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.
You have been given a new transplanted kidney from another person because your own
was no longer healthy. Your body recognises that this new organ is different from
your organs and will try to reject it by attacking it in the same way it would attack
germs that enter your body. This could make you ill again. The name of your medicine
is Thymoglobuline. It belongs to a group of medicines called immunosuppressants (anti-rejection
medicines). These medicines suppress your immune system and can help prevent your
body from rejecting the transplanted kidney.
Aplastic Anaemia
Thymoglobuline is also used to treat aplastic anaemia, which is a serious condition
in which your bone marrow can no longer produce enough blood cells.
Your doctor may have prescribed Thymoglobuline for another purpose.
How it works
Organ Transplantation:
Thymoglobuline works by lowering certain cells within your body's immune system which
are likely to attack your transplanted organ
Aplastic Anaemia:
Thymoglobuline works by lowering certain cells within your body's immune system, thus
giving your bone marrow a chance to produce blood cells.
Do not use if you have ever had an allergic reaction to thyrotropin alfa or any of
the ingredients listed at the end of the CMI.
Talk to your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, take any other medicines,
or are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
