Ipca Mmf S Tablet 15 contains Mycophenolate sodium (360 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Prodrug conversion: Mycophenolate sodium is converted to its active form, Mycophenolic acid (MPA), after you take it orally.

• Enzyme inhibition: It selectively inhibits an enzyme called Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is crucial for making new DNA building blocks called purines.

• T and B Lymphocyte suppression: By blocking IMPDH, it depletes specific substances called guanosine nucleotides in your immune cells (T and B lymphocytes), reducing their ability to multiply and produce antibodies.

• Immune response reduction: This action specifically targets and reduces immune responses that would normally attack the transplanted organ, helping your body accept the new organ.
