Mycophenolate Mofetil (Oral Route)
Drug Information provided by: MicromedexUS Brand Names

Description
Mycophenolate belongs to a group of medicines known as immunosuppressive agents. It is used with other medicines to lower the body's natural immunity in patients who receive organ transplants (e.g., kidney, heart, or liver).
When a patient receives an organ transplant, the body's white blood cells will try to get rid of (reject) the transplanted organ. Mycophenolate prevents the white blood cells from rejecting the transplanted organ.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
