Renodapt 750 mg contains Mycophenolate mofetil, an immunosuppressant medicine commonly prescribed to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ, such as a kidney. It helps protect the transplanted organ by lowering the body’s natural immune response.
Mechanism of Action
Mycophenolate mofetil works by interfering with the production of DNA and RNA in immune cells, specifically T and B lymphocytes. These cells are responsible for attacking foreign tissues like a transplanted organ. The drug inhibits an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, which is vital for the proliferation of these lymphocytes. By doing this, it suppresses the immune response without affecting other cells significantly.
