Mycept S 360mg Tablet

About

Mycept-S 360 contains the active ingredient Mycophenolate sodium, which belongs to the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor class of drugs. It is used to prevent organ rejection in patients who have undergone organ transplantation, such as kidney, heart, or liver transplants, and is prescribed as part of a combination therapy with other immunosuppressants.

This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy due to the risk of birth defects and miscarriage. Mycept-S 360 should only be prescribed to pregnant women when no suitable alternatives are available and the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Women of childbearing potential are strongly advised to use effective contraception while taking this medicine to avoid pregnancy. Live vaccines should be avoided during treatment, as the medication can reduce vaccine effectiveness and increase the risk of infection. Blood donation is also not recommended during treatment and for at least six weeks after stopping therapy to ensure the drug is fully cleared from the body. A possible substitute for Mycept-S 360 is Myfortic 360 mg.

This medication should be avoided if you are allergic to Mycophenolate sodium or any of its components. Inform your doctor before starting treatment if you have liver or heart disease. Since Mycept-S 360 suppresses the immune system, it may increase the risk of skin cancer; therefore, limiting exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) light is advised. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as unexplained bruising, fever, unusual tiredness, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, vision changes, decreased urine output, or seizures. As an immunosuppressive drug, Mycept-S 360 can affect a baby’s developing immune system and is not recommended during breastfeeding.
