Mycophenolate Mofetil 250mg Tablets
SKU GME674Product Introduction
Mycophenolate Mofetil 250mg is an antimetabolite immunosuppressant used with other anti-rejection medicines after organ transplantation. It limits the immune response against the transplanted organ rather than treating an established infection.
How to use
Swallow the tablets whole on an empty stomach, usually one hour before or two hours after food, unless the transplant team specifies a consistent alternative. Do not crush or break them; avoid contact with damaged tablets.
How it works
Mycophenolate mofetil is converted to mycophenolic acid, which inhibits IMP dehydrogenase and limits guanine-nucleotide synthesis in activated 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 organ-transplant rejection
Benefits
Provides an additional anti-rejection mechanism alongside the other components of transplant treatment.
Is mycophenolate sodium interchangeable 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. Crushing exposes the active medicine and may affect administration. The transplant team can arrange an appropriate alternative formulation for swallowing difficulty.
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.
