Myfortic 360mg tablets contain mycophenolate sodium, which is converted to mycophenolic acid, a selective inhibitor of lymphocyte proliferation. It suppresses the immune response and is used in combination with ciclosporin and corticosteroids to prevent acute rejection in adult kidney transplant recipients.
The gastro-resistant formulation allows the medicine to pass through the stomach before releasing the active ingredient in the intestine, helping maintain consistent absorption.
