About Mycophenolate mofetil Teva
Mycophenolate mofetil Teva is a medicine containing the active substance mycophenolate mofetil. It is available as capsules (250 mg) and tablets (500 mg). Mycophenolate mofetil Teva is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Mycophenolate mofetil Teva is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the European Union (EU) called CellCept.
What it is used for
Mycophenolate mofetil Teva is used to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney, heart or liver. It is used with ciclosporin and corticosteroids (other medicines used to prevent organ rejection). The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How it is used
Mycophenolate mofetil Teva treatment should be initiated and maintained by a qualified transplant specialist. The way that Mycophenolate mofetil Teva should be given and the dose depend on the type of organ transplant and the patient’s age and size. For kidney transplants, the recommended dose in adults is 1.0 g twice a day starting within 72 hours after the transplant. In children aged between two and 18 years, the dose of Mycophenolate mofetil Teva is calculated depending on height and weight. For heart transplants, the recommended adult dose is 1.5 g twice a day, starting within five days following the transplant. For liver transplants in adults, mycophenolate mofetil should be given as an infusion (drip into a vein) for the first four days after the transplant, before the patient is switched to 1.5 g Mycophenolate mofetil Teva twice a day as soon as it can be tolerated. The dose may need to be adjusted in patients with liver or kidney disease. For more information, see the summary of product characteristics (also part of the EPAR).
How it works
The active substance in Mycophenolate mofetil Teva, mycophenolate mofetil, is an immunosuppressive medicine. In the body, it is converted into mycophenolic acid, which blocks an enzyme called ‘inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase’. This enzyme is important for the formation of DNA in cells, particularly in the lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell which is involved in the rejection of organ transplants). By preventing the production of new DNA, Mycophenolate mofetil Teva reduces the rate at which the lymphocytes multiply. This makes them less effective at recognising and attacking the transplanted organ, lowering the risk of the organ being rejected.
