Myfortic 180mg tablet is an immunosuppressant containing mycophenolate sodium as the active ingredient.

The medication is prescribed as part of combination therapy with other immunosuppressive agents.

This tablet is contraindicated in pregnancy due to the risk of birth defects and miscarriage. It should not be used in pregnant women unless no suitable alternatives exist and potential benefits justify the risks. Female patients of reproductive potential are advised to use effective contraception during treatment to prevent pregnancy.

Live vaccines must not be administered while taking Myfortic 180mg tablet, as vaccine effectiveness is reduced and the risk of infection increases. Patients should not donate blood during treatment and for at least six weeks after stopping the medication to ensure adequate clearance from the body.

Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to mycophenolate sodium or any other ingredients in the formulation. Inform your doctor of any existing liver or heart disease before starting treatment.
