Q. I have just started taking Azaprin Tablet. What are the long-term side effects? Is there anything I should be looking out for?
Being an immunosuppressant, Azaprin Tablet can increase the chances of severe infections and decrease blood cell counts, and malignancy. You should inform your doctor immediately if you notice any infection or fever, unexpected bruising or bleeding, black tarry stools, or blood in the urine or stools. Let your doctor know if you notice any new skin sore or lump, new marks on the skin, or any change in the marks that were previously present.
Q. Do I need any special tests while I am on Azaprin Tablet?
Azaprin Tablet reduces the production of white blood cells, making you more vulnerable to infections, and can sometimes affect the liver. These side effects can be monitored by regular blood tests. Therefore, during the first 8 weeks of the treatment, your doctor may recommend weekly blood tests to monitor complete blood counts, including platelet counts. The frequency can later be reduced to monthly or at least once every 3 months.

Azaprin Tablet may increase the chance of developing certain cancers like skin cancer, cancer of the lymph system (lymphoma), cancer of soft tissues (sarcomas), and cervical cancer. To prevent the risk of skin cancer, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any changes in your skin or any lumps or masses anywhere on your body.
