Azathioprine lowers your body's immune system. The immune system helps your body
fight infections. The immune system can also fight or "reject" a transplanted organ such as a
liver or kidney. This is because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.

Azathioprine is a non-specific immunosuppressant antimetabolite that can be used as a chemotherapeutic agent to inhibit lymphocyte purine metabolism. In the United States, azathioprine is also known by the brand name Imuran.
|
|
Immunosuppressive antimetabolite.

Sulfasalazine affects a substance in the body that causes inflammation, tissue damage, and
diarrhea.
|
|
Hydrocortisone is a steroid medicine that reduces inflammation in the body.
|
|
Dexamethasone is in a class of drugs called steroids. Dexamethasone prevents the release
of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
|
|
Synthetic glucocorticoid; minimal mineralocorticoid activity.
|
|
Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid. Its naturally occuring counterparts are hydrocortisone and cortisone.
|
|
Dexamethasone is in a class of drugs called steroids. Dexamethasone prevents the release
of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

|
|
Glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex; also exhibits mineralocorticoid activity.

Hydrocortisone is in a class of drugs called steroids. Hydrocortisone prevents the release
of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

|
Biologic response modifier and disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD); chimeric human-murine monoclonal antibody that blocks the biologic activity of tumor necrosis factor (TNF, TNF-α).
|
|
Antineoplastic agent and immunosuppressant; folic acid antagonist.
|
|
Methotrexate is a folic acid derivative that interferes with folic acid metabolism (folate antagonist). It is a cytotoxic agent (a chemical that is directly toxic to cells) with multiple characteristics and may be described as an antimetabolite, antineoplastic, and immunosuppressant.
|
|
Methotrexate injection interferes with the growth of certain cells of the body, especially
cells that reproduce quickly, such as cancer cells, bone marrow cells, and skin cells.

substances in the body that cause inflammation.
