Mycograft 360 MG Tablet 10 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.

• Keep in a dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Store in a secure location inaccessible to children.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard any tablets that have expired.

• Avoid live vaccines during treatment with Mycograft 360 MG Tablet 10 as your immune system (the body's defence system) will be suppressed, increasing infection risk.
