Ipca MMF-500 Tablet contains mycophenolate mofetil (500 mg) and works on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibits IMPDH: Mycophenolate mofetil acts by blocking an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). This enzyme is crucial for making certain components required for DNA synthesis in specific cells of your immune system.

• Reduces white blood cell proliferation: By inhibiting IMPDH, mycophenolate mofetil depletes components called "guanosine nucleotides" – which are vital for DNA synthesis in white blood cells. As a result, these cells can't multiply as much as they normally do.

• Suppresses immune response: The reduction in white blood cell multiplication leads to a suppressed immune response, reducing the risk of organ rejection after transplantation.

• Keep your Ipca MMF-500 Tablet at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius.

• Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• Since Ipca MMF-500 Tablet is used after organ transplants, it's crucial to maintain good hygiene to avoid infections. So, always wash your hands regularly and avoid crowded places where you might be exposed to germs.
