Ipca MMF-500 Tablet is used to prevent the body rejecting a transplanted organ, such as a kidney, heart or liver. It is also used, under specialist care, to manage certain autoimmune conditions.
It contains mycophenolate mofetil, an immunosuppressant. It works by damping down the immune system so it does not attack the transplanted organ.
Take it exactly as prescribed, usually with other anti-rejection medicines. Regular blood tests check your white cell count and that the dose is right.
Because it lowers your immune defences, avoid contact with people who have infections and report signs of infection. It can seriously harm an unborn baby, so effective contraception is essential during and after treatment as advised.

How Ipca Mmf 500 Tablet 10 Works?
Ipca MMF-500 Tablet contains mycophenolate mofetil (500 mg) and works on your body in the following ways:
Inhibits IMPDH: Mycophenolate mofetil acts by blocking an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). This enzyme is crucial for making certain components required for DNA synthesis in specific cells of your immune system.
Reduces white blood cell proliferation: By inhibiting IMPDH, mycophenolate mofetil depletes components called "guanosine nucleotides" – which are vital for DNA synthesis in white blood cells. As a result, these cells can't multiply as much as they normally do.
Suppresses immune response: The reduction in white blood cell multiplication leads to a suppressed immune response, reducing the risk of organ rejection after transplantation.
