Myfenax 500mg is a prescription immunosuppressive medicine. Each film-coated tablet contains 500mg of Mycophenolate Mofetil.
It is prescribed by organ transplant specialists to prevent your body from rejecting a transplanted kidney, heart, or liver, usually used in combination with other immunosuppressive medicines such as cyclosporine and corticosteroids.
Myfenax suppresses specific parts of your immune system to protect your new organ:
Inhibits Immune Cells: It blocks an essential enzyme (IMPDH) needed by T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes (white blood cells) to grow and multiply.
Prevents Organ Rejection: By suppressing these specific white blood cells, it stops them from attacking and damaging the transplanted organ.
🚨 Immune Suppression Warning: Because Myfenax suppresses your immune system, it increases your risk of catching serious infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal) and increases the long-term risk of skin cancers and lymphomas.
Report any fever, persistent sore throat, or unusual signs of infection to your doctor immediately.
🚨 Pregnancy Warning: Myfenax causes severe birth defects and high rates of pregnancy loss (miscarriage).
Women of childbearing potential: Must use effective contraception prior to starting, during treatment, and for 6 weeks after stopping.
Men: Taking Myfenax should use condoms during intercourse throughout treatment and for 90 days after stopping.
🚨 Sun Sensitivity: Limit exposure to sunlight and UV rays by wearing protective clothing and using broad-spectrum, high-SPF sunscreen.
Take as Directed: The exact daily dosage depends on whether you had a kidney, heart, or liver transplant. Always follow your specialist's precise instructions.
Swallow Whole: Swallow tablets whole with a glass of water. Do NOT crush, chew, split, or break tablets.
Food Consistency: You can take Myfenax with or without food, but keep your routine consistent (always with food or always on an empty stomach) to maintain stable drug levels.
Do NOT Stop Suddenly: Never skip or adjust your dose without explicit instructions from your transplant team.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed tablet. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Digestive issues: Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or constipation.
Low blood cell counts (leukopenia, anemia, or low blood platelets).
Urinary tract infections or respiratory infections.
Mild swelling in hands or feet.
Signs of infection (fever, chills, body aches, sore throat).
Unexpected bruising, bleeding gums, or severe pale skin.
Black, tarry stools or blood in vomit (signs of gastrointestinal bleeding).
Keep tablets inside their original blister strip and box to protect from light and moisture.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
