What does it do?

Mycophenolate mofetil belongs to the class of immunosuppressants and is primarily used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs in transplant patients. This ingredient regulates the immune response by inhibiting the proliferation of specific immune cells.

Mycophenolate mofetil reduces immune responses by interfering with the synthesis of nucleic acids necessary for the proliferation of immune cells. This helps prevent rejection by lowering the activity of immune cells that attack the transplanted organ.
