Overview

MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL is a Schedule H drug.
Mycophenolate mofetil weakens your body’s immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it. Mycophenolate mofetil is used with other medicines to prevent organ rejection after a kidney, liver, or heart transplant.
