Mycept 250 Capsule 10 contains mycophenolate mofetil (250 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Prodrug Conversion: Mycophenolate mofetil is converted in your body to its active form called mycophenolic acid, which is the substance that actually performs the immunosuppressive action.
• Enzyme Inhibition: It blocks an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is essential for making certain nucleotides (building blocks) that immune cells need to multiply.
• T and B Lymphocyte Suppression: By preventing these immune cells from multiplying, it reduces their ability to attack and reject your transplanted organ.
• Selective Immunosuppression: It specifically targets rapidly dividing cells like lymphocytes while having less effect on other cells, which helps reduce some potential side effects.

• Store Mycept 250 Capsule 10 at 20°C to 25°C in its original packaging.

• Store in a light-resistant container away from direct sunlight.
• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you've had an organ transplant, avoid raw or undercooked foods (meat, eggs, seafood) to reduce infection risk while your immune system is suppressed.
• Stay well-hydrated and maintain good hygiene practices, including frequent handwashing, to help prevent infections during therapy.
