Product Overview
About MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL
MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL is a prescription medication used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs in patients with certain medical conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants, which work by suppressing the body's immune system to prevent it from attacking the transplanted organ.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Prevention of organ rejection in patients with kidney, liver, and heart transplants
- Treatment of certain autoimmune disorders, such as lupus nephritis and myasthenia gravis
- Reduction of the risk of acute rejection in patients with kidney transplants
Active Ingredient & Action
MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL is a prodrug of mycophenolic acid, which is an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). By inhibiting IMPDH, mycophenolic acid prevents the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, which are key components of the immune system. This action helps to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs and reduces the risk of autoimmune disorders.
