Mycophenolate mofetil
Mycophenolate mofetil is a medication that suppresses the immune system to prevent it from attacking the body's own tissues or transplanted organs. It works by inhibiting the growth of certain cells involved in immune responses, helping to reduce inflammation and rejection. It’s commonly used after organ transplants to protect the new organ and for treating autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. While effective, it can also weaken your immune defenses, increasing the risk of infections. It’s important to take it exactly as prescribed and monitor for any side effects under medical supervision.
