Myfortic 360mg Tablets (Mycophenolic Acid)
Myfortic 360mg Tablet contains mycophenolic acid (as mycophenolate sodium), a medicine known as an immunosuppressant. It works by blocking an enzyme that immune cells need to multiply, which reduces the activity of the white blood cells that would otherwise attack a transplanted organ. By dampening this immune response, it helps prevent the body from rejecting the new organ. Myfortic uses include the prevention of organ rejection in patients who have received a kidney transplant, and it is used together with other anti-rejection medicines under specialist supervision.
