MYCOPHENOLATE

Mycophenolate is an immunosuppressant that calms the immune system. It is used to prevent rejection after an organ transplant and for some autoimmune conditions.

What Mycophenolate Is Used For

• Preventing rejection after an organ transplant
• Certain autoimmune conditions, on specialist advice

Common Side Effects

• Loose motions
• Nausea
• Higher risk of infections

Precautions

Because mycophenolate lowers the immune response, report any signs of infection promptly, and your doctor will monitor your blood counts. It must not be used in pregnancy, as it seriously harms a baby, so reliable contraception is essential. Never stop it without specialist advice.
