Suprimun S 180mg Tablet contains Mycophenolic Acid 180mg (as Mycophenolate Sodium) in a delayed-release formulation. It is an immunosuppressant medicine primarily used to help prevent organ transplant rejection, especially after kidney transplantation. In some cases, it may also be prescribed for certain autoimmune disorders under specialist supervision.

Mycophenolic Acid suppresses the activity of specific immune cells that can attack a transplanted organ. By reducing the body's immune response, it helps lower the risk of transplant rejection while supporting long-term graft function. It is commonly used in combination with other immunosuppressive medicines.

How It Works

Mycophenolic Acid inhibits the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is essential for the growth and multiplication of T and B lymphocytes. By limiting the activity of these immune cells, it reduces the likelihood of the immune system attacking a transplanted organ.

Common Side Effects

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Increased risk of infections
