Product Introduction
Myfortic 360mg tablet is an immunosuppressant containing the active ingredient mycophenolate sodium. It belongs to the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor category. This medicine is prescribed to prevent organ rejection in patients who have received an organ transplant, such as kidney, heart, or liver transplantation. Doctors often prescribe it as part of combination therapy with other immunosuppressive drugs for improved outcomes. The 360 mg dosage may vary depending on the patient's health condition and is usually adjusted in kidney transplant cases. Myfortic 360 mg is not a steroid but an immunosuppressant. Reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, or increased risk of infections. Patients experiencing severe reactions should contact their doctor immediately. Tablet pricing in India varies by pharmacy and location. In cases of unavailability or affordability concerns, your doctor may recommend an alternative.
