It is used with other medications to prevent your body from rejecting a transplanted organ (such as a kidney, heart, or liver). It works by suppressing your immune system so that the transplanted organ is not attacked. Do not take more than the prescribed dose. If you observe any severe side effects, contact your doctor immediately or rush to the nearest hospital. Store the medication in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Mycophenolic acid, an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory medication used to treat organ transplant rejection, is included in this tablet. As a result, antibody creation is suppressed, suppressing the body's immune response to foreign change. These effects suppress the immune system, preventing the transplanted graft from being rejected.
Mycophenolate mofetil is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine. The maximum concentration of its active metabolite, MPA, is attained 60 to 90 minutes following an oral dose. The average bioavailability of orally administered mycophenolate mofetil in a pharmacokinetic study of 12 healthy patients was 94%.
