Apo Mycophenolic Acid How to Take

Mycophenolate Mofetil belongs to the group of medications known as immunosuppressants. It is used in combination with other medications to prevent the rejection of organ transplants by suppressing the body's natural defense, the immune system. It does this by preventing the formation of a certain type of white blood cell (called lymphocytes) that would normally attack the transplanted organ.

Apo Mycophenolic Acid Dosage

Mycophenolate mofetil is usually started as soon as possible following the organ transplant. The dose varies according to circumstances. The dose for children following a kidney transplant is based on body surface area, which takes into account a person's height and weight.

The medication is usually given twice daily. The 2 doses should be spaced as close to 12 hours apart as possible and at approximately the same time each day. The oral medication should be taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals). If you vomit or have Diarrhea after taking mycophenolate mofetil, always call your doctor for further direction. Do not stop taking the medication without first talking with your doctor.

You should leave the capsules and tablets in the blister packs until it is time for your dose. The capsules and tablets should be swallowed whole, and not crushed or chewed.

If using the suspension, be sure to shake the closed bottle well for about 5 seconds before each use. Do not mix the suspension with any liquid. Use an oral syringe to measure each dose of the liquid, as it gives a more accurate measurement than household teaspoons.

Avoid skin contact with damaged capsules or caplets. If any powder from any of the forms of mycophenolate mofetil should get on your skin, quickly wash with soap and water. If the medication comes in contact with your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water. Use a wet paper towel to wipe up spills.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important that Apo Mycophenolic Acid (Mycophenolate-na) be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for instructions. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Store mycophenolate mofetil tablets, capsules, and suspension at room temperature. Protect the tablets from light. Discard any unused portion of mycophenolate mofetil suspension 60 days after mixing.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
