Frequently asked questions

What is Mykofenolát Mofetil Sandoz used for?+
Mykofenolát Mofetil Sandoz contains mycophenolate mofetil, an immunosuppressant used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat lupus nephritis by reducing abnormal immune activity.
How does mycophenolate mofetil work?+
Mycophenolate mofetil is converted to mycophenolic acid, which blocks inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme for guanosine synthesis in activated lymphocytes, thereby limiting T‑ and B‑cell proliferation.
What is the usual dose of Mykofenolát Mofetil Sandoz?+
The prescribed dose is individualized by the treating physician based on the specific indication, patient weight, renal function and concomitant therapies. Patients should follow the dosing instructions provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Mykofenolát Mofetil Sandoz safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Mycophenolate mofetil is classified as Pregnancy Category D and is contraindicated in pregnancy due to teratogenic risk. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding because the drug can be excreted in breast milk.
