Azathioprine is an immunosuppressive drug that is chemically related to some anti-cancer chemotherapy agents.
Azathioprine is used to suppress cells involved in autoimmune diseases including those involving the skin, blood, or multiple body systems. An example of the latter is systemic lupus erythematosus (or "lupus").
Azathioprine suppresses the immune system by interfering with the metabolism of immune and antibody-producing cells (lymphocytes).
Azathioprine is a prescription drug and can only be obtained from a veterinarian or by prescription from a veterinarian.
