WHAT IS MYFORTIC?
Myfortic is a prescription medicine given to prevent rejection (antirejection medicine) in people who have received a kidney transplant. Rejection is when the body’s immune system senses the new organ as “foreign” and attacks it.
Myfortic is used with other medicines containing cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Gengraf, and Neoral) and corticosteroids.
Myfortic can be used to prevent rejection in children who are 5 years or older and are stable after having a kidney transplant. It is not known if Myfortic is safe and works in children younger than 5 years. It is not known how Myfortic works in children who have just received a new kidney transplant.
USE
Mycophenolate is used in combination with other medications to keep your body from attacking and rejecting your transplanted kidney. It belongs to a class of medications called immunosuppressants. It works by weakening your body’s defense system (immune system) to help your body accept the new kidney as if it were your own.
HOW IS IT USED
Myfortic tablets should be taken on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after food intake. Myfortic tablets should not be crushed, chewed, or cut prior to ingesting. The tablets should be swallowed whole in order to maintain the integrity of the enteric coating.
SIDE EFFECTS
Common side effects include: cytomegalovirus disease, urinary tract infection, anemia, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, insomnia, leukopenia, nausea, vomiting, and postoperative pain.
WARNINGS
If for any reason, the Myfortic tablets must be crushed, avoid inhalation of the powder, or direct contact of the powder, with skin or mucous membranes.
