Product Introduction

Mycept-S 360 Tablet is an immunosuppressant medicine used to help prevent organ rejection after a kidney, heart, or liver transplant. It works by reducing the body's immune response, preventing it from attacking the transplanted organ. This medicine is usually prescribed along with other immunosuppressive medications to improve transplant success.

The dosage of Mycept-S 360 Tablet depends on the type of organ transplant and your medical condition. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking the tablet. Continue taking this medicine regularly, even if you feel well, as stopping treatment may increase the risk of transplant rejection.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, high blood pressure, and changes in white blood cell counts. Since this medicine weakens the immune system, it may increase the risk of infections and certain types of cancer. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience signs of infection, unusual bleeding, persistent fever, or any severe or unusual symptoms during treatment.

Uses
