Suprimun S 360mg Tablet contains Mycophenolic Acid 360mg (as Mycophenolate Sodium) in a delayed-release formulation. It is an immunosuppressant medicine primarily used to help prevent organ transplant rejection, especially following kidney transplantation. In some cases, it may also be prescribed for certain autoimmune disorders under specialist supervision.

Mycophenolic Acid works by suppressing the activity of immune cells responsible for attacking transplanted organs. By reducing the immune response, it lowers the risk of organ rejection while helping preserve transplant function. This medicine is usually used in combination with other immunosuppressive medications.
