Mercaptopurine Tablets BP 50 mg is a medication used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), as well as in the management of autoimmune conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It is an antimetabolite that works by interfering with the synthesis of DNA and RNA, thereby inhibiting the growth and replication of cancer cells and immune cells involved in autoimmune processes.

The 50 mg dosage is typically taken once daily, often in combination with other medications, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, liver toxicity, low blood cell counts, and increased susceptibility to infections. Regular monitoring of blood counts, liver function, and kidney function is essential to manage potential side effects and ensure the drug is working effectively.
