Mycept-S 360 Tablet is primarily used to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney. This medicine is part of a group known as immunosuppressants.

In addition to preventing organ rejection after a kidney transplant, this medicine is sometimes given in combination with other immunosuppressant medicines. This approach provides broader protection against organ rejection, helping the new kidney to function properly within the body.

Before taking this medicine, consult your doctor about the right dosage and frequency for you. Do inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or medications you already use. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, don't hesitate to notify your doctor. Always remember to continue taking the medicine for the prescribed duration for optimal results.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Mycept-S 360 Tablet.

Mycept-S 360 Tablet contains Mycophenolate Sodium (360 mg), which interacts with your body in the following ways:

Blocks IMPDH Enzyme: Mycophenolate Sodium works by inhibiting an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is crucial for immune cells to reproduce and multiply.
Reduces T and B Lymphocytes: By blocking the IMPDH enzyme, Mycophenolate Sodium prevents the number of T and B lymphocytes from increasing. These white blood cells are important players in the immune response that could lead to organ rejection. By keeping their numbers in check, this medicine helps your body accept the transplanted kidney.
