Mycophenolate Mofetil

Mycophenolate Mofetil is an immunosuppressant medication used to prevent organ rejection in people who have received an organ transplant. It works by reducing the body’s immune system’s ability to attack the transplanted organ.

Uses: Mycophenolate Mofetil is primarily used to:

• Prevent organ rejection after a kidney transplant
• Prevent organ rejection after a liver transplant
• Prevent organ rejection after a heart transplant
• Treat autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis

Important Considerations (Prescription Required):

1. Increased Infection Risk: Mycophenolate Mofetil can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. Avoid contact with people who are sick and follow good hygiene practices.
2. Birth Defects: Mycophenolate Mofetil can cause birth defects in babies. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take this medication.
3. Regular Monitoring: During treatment, regular monitoring is necessary to assess for side effects and adjust the dosage as needed.
