Overview Phenolate S 360mg Tablet

Immunosuppressant medication, S-Phenolate 360mg tablets, is administered post-transplant (kidney, heart, liver, etc.) to mitigate organ rejection. Its mechanism involves immune system suppression, preventing the body from attacking the transplanted organ. Dosage varies depending on the transplant type; adhere strictly to your physician's prescription. Consumption with or without food is acceptable. Swallow whole; do not crush, chew, or break tablets. Consistent use is crucial for optimal efficacy; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Treatment duration is determined by your doctor to maintain rejection prevention. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain), headache, hypertension, and altered white blood cell counts. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility and cancer risk. A comprehensive list of potential side effects exists; consult your doctor regarding potential symptoms and their severity as some require immediate medical attention. Due to teratogenic potential (risk of birth defects and miscarriage), avoid use during pregnancy, preconception, or breastfeeding. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician of any infections, unusual bleeding or bruising, or pre-existing digestive issues. Disclose all medications currently being taken, as interactions can significantly alter S-Phenolate's efficacy. Regular blood tests monitor blood cell counts; report unexplained bleeding/bruising, sore throat, mouth sores, or fever to your doctor immediately.
