Once consumed, Azolyst 50mg Tablet gets converted in the body to 6-mercaptopurine, an active form that blocks the production of DNA and RNA in rapidly dividing cells, including immune cells. This process slows down the immune system's overactive response, easing inflammation and preventing the immune system from attacking healthy tissues or rejecting transplanted organs.
