Mofilet-500 Tablet contains Mycophenolate Mofetil (500 mg), which acts in the body as follows:

• Metabolises to Mycophenolic Acid (MPA): After being taken, Mycophenolate Mofetil is extensively absorbed and rapidly metabolized into its active form, Mycophenolic Acid (MPA).

• Inhibits IMPDH: MPA is a potent inhibitor of an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). This enzyme is key in the pathway that generates guanosine nucleotides, which are important for cell division.

• Suppresses Lymphocyte Activity: By inhibiting IMPDH, MPA effectively suppresses the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, cells involved in the body's immune response. This in turn reduces the risk of the immune system attacking the transplanted organ.

• Reduces Antibody Production: MPA also reduces the production of antibodies, further lowering the body's immune response against the transplanted organ.

• Store Mofilet-500 Tablet at room temperature between 15°C to 30°C.

• Keep it in a dry place, away from light and moisture.

• Always keep the medicine in its original package until use.

• Since Mofilet-500 Tablet is used to manage organ transplant rejections, maintaining a balanced diet is essential. Include foods rich in protein like lentils, dairy products, and lean meats to promote healing and immune system recovery.

• Avoid close contact with people who have active infections, as your immune system is suppressed due to this medication. This helps prevent any opportunistic infections that could potentially harm your new organ.
