(250mg) Mycophenolate mofetil

What is Mycophenolate Mofetil?

Mycophenolate Mofetil is an immunosuppressive agent primarily used to prevent organ rejection in patients who have undergone kidney, heart, or liver transplants. It works by weakening the body’s immune response to prevent it from attacking the newly transplanted organ.MYCOPLASM M 250 contains Mycophenolate Mofetil 250 mg, a prodrug of mycophenolic acid, which exhibits selective inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation.

Medical Uses of MYCOPLASM M 250 (Mycophenolate Mofetil 250 mg)

MYCOPLASM M 250 is prescribed for:

• Prevention of Organ Rejection
  After kidney, heart, or liver transplants in combination with other immunosuppressants like cyclosporine and corticosteroids.

  • Lupus nephritis

  • Myasthenia gravis

  • Psoriasis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Pemphigus vulgaris

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

How MYCOPLASM M 250 Works

Mycophenolate Mofetil is rapidly converted in the body to mycophenolic acid (MPA), which selectively inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). This enzyme is essential for the de novo synthesis of guanosine nucleotides in T and B lymphocytes. Inhibition of this pathway suppresses the proliferation of these immune cells, thereby reducing the likelihood of transplant rejection or autoimmune flare-ups.
