Pharmacologically, Azathioprine relates to the category “immunosuppressant (transplantation / autoimmunity)”. This medicine modulates or curbs the immune system, in an autoimmune disease or after a transplant; it requires close monitoring.
In the case of Azathioprine, this means: Slows the immune system. It is generally taken over the long term, within regular monitoring, and is not stopped on your own initiative.

Do you need a supplement? No.
For Azathioprine, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation has any serious justification to set against this treatment, and we prefer to say so rather than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; beyond these, we sell nothing for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five references.
