Mycophenolic Acid 180mg Delayed-Release Tablets
SKU GME675Product Introduction
Mycophenolic Acid 180mg is a delayed-release mycophenolic-acid immunosuppressant used as part of a kidney-transplant anti-rejection regimen. Its enteric coating delays release until the medicine reaches the intestine.
How to use
Take delayed-release tablets consistently on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after a meal. Swallow whole without crushing, splitting or chewing the enteric coating.
How it works
Mycophenolic acid inhibits IMP dehydrogenase, reducing guanine-nucleotide synthesis needed for multiplication of activated T and B lymphocytes.
Side effects
Diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and reduced white-cell counts are common concerns; infections can occur more readily.
Important information
Exposure during pregnancy can cause miscarriage and severe birth defects. Pregnancy testing, effective contraception, blood counts and infection surveillance are essential parts of treatment. Women who can become pregnant require effective contraception during treatment and for six weeks after stopping; the transplant team plans any pregnancy-related change before treatment is interrupted.
Uses
- Prevention of kidney-transplant rejection as part of combination immunosuppression
Benefits
Helps prevent kidney-transplant rejection when combined with the other anti-rejection medicines in the transplant regimen, supporting continued function of the transplanted kidney.
Can delayed-release mycophenolic acid replace mycophenolate mofetil milligram for milligram?
No. Different formulations have different strengths and absorption characteristics; the transplant team must manage a switch.
What if diarrhoea becomes severe?
Contact the transplant team; dehydration, infection and altered medicine exposure need assessment.
Can I crush a tablet for swallowing difficulty?
No. Keep the enteric-coated tablet intact. If swallowing is difficult, the transplant team can arrange a suitable alternative; do not crush it or expose anyone to damaged medicine.
Why are blood counts checked?
Treatment can suppress white cells and other blood cells, increasing infection or bleeding risk.
Can antacids be taken at the same time?
Magnesium- or aluminium-containing antacids can reduce absorption; obtain a separation schedule.
Is pregnancy planning possible during treatment?
It requires advance specialist planning and an alternative regimen where appropriate; do not stop anti-rejection treatment yourself.
Does feeling well mean the medicine is unnecessary?
No. Rejection prevention remains necessary even without symptoms.
Can live vaccines be used?
They are generally avoided during immunosuppressive treatment, and vaccine responses may be reduced.
