Azathioprine is given with other immunosuppressants to help prevent rejection of the new liver. It may be used for long-term (perhaps lifetime) immunosuppression.
How to take:
- Tablets - 50 mg; liquid - 10 mg per mL. IV Azathioprine may be given for the first few days after transplantation.
- The transplant team will determine the dosage appropriate for each patient based on weight and white blood cell count.
