How Does MYCEPT 500 Work?

MYCEPT 500 Tablet functions as an immunosuppressant. Its active ingredient, Mycophenolate mofetil, helps reduce the activity of the immune system. This action lowers the likelihood of your body rejecting a transplanted organ such as the kidney, heart, or liver, thereby supporting the long-term health of your new organ.
