Overview Graftide-M 500 Tablet

Mycophenolate Mofetil 500mg tablets are immunosuppressants, used post-transplant (kidney, heart, liver etc.) to prevent organ rejection. They work by weakening the immune system's response to the transplanted organ. Dosage and frequency depend on the specific transplant; strictly adhere to your physician's prescription. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after eating, unless otherwise directed. Swallow whole; do not crush, chew, or break. Consistent use is vital for efficacy; continue taking even feeling well, as directed. Treatment duration is determined by your need for rejection prevention. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, hypertension, increased infection susceptibility (viral, fungal, bacterial), and alterations in white blood cell counts. Immunosuppression increases infection risk and the chance of certain cancers. Minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen to lessen skin cancer risk. Numerous potential side effects exist; discuss these with your doctor, noting any concerning symptoms requiring immediate medical attention. This medication can cause birth defects and miscarriage; avoid use during pregnancy, attempts at conception, or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor of any infection signs, unusual bleeding or bruising, and all other medications you are taking, as interactions may occur. Regular blood tests will monitor blood cell counts, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
