AZORAN-25MG TAB

Description

• Treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis)

  • Autoimmune hepatitis

  • Dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and others

• Route: Oral

• Typical Dosage: As prescribed by your physician, often part of a combination therapy
