What does it do?

Mycophenolate sodium belongs to the class of immunosuppressants and is primarily used to suppress the immune response in organ transplant patients to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ. This ingredient inhibits the proliferation of immune cells through non-specific immunosuppressive action.

Mycophenolate sodium reduces the immune response by interfering with the synthesis of nucleic acids required for the proliferation of immune cells. This action suppresses the activity of immune cells that attack the transplanted organ, preventing rejection.

Good to know

Unlike other immunosuppressants, mycophenolate sodium selectively inhibits specific enzymes to block immune cell proliferation. As a result, it has a relatively different side effect profile and is widely used in organ transplant patients.
