Description
Product Overview:
Seromune 500 Tablet is an immunosuppressant used primarily in the prevention of organ rejection in patients who have undergone organ transplants, such as kidney, heart, or liver transplants. It works by suppressing the body’s immune system, reducing the likelihood of the immune system attacking the transplanted organ, which is often recognized as foreign by the body.
The specific dosage and frequency of Seromune 500 Tablet depend on the type of transplant and your doctor’s recommendations. It is essential to take this medication as prescribed, even if you feel well, in order to maximize its benefits. Always take the tablet on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals, unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.
Salt Composition / Key Ingredient:
- Mycophenolate Mofetil (500 mg): The active ingredient that suppresses the immune system and helps prevent the rejection of transplanted organs.
How Seromune Tablet Works:
Seromune 500 Tablet contains Mycophenolate Mofetil, an immunosuppressant that works by inhibiting the activity of the immune system. This reduces the likelihood of your immune system recognizing the transplanted organ as foreign and attacking it. By suppressing the immune response, Seromune helps the body accept the new organ without causing rejection.
Uses of Seromune Tablet:
- Prevention of organ rejection in transplant patients (kidney, heart, liver transplants).
Benefits of Seromune Tablet:
- Prevention of Organ Rejection: Seromune reduces the risk of rejection of transplanted organs by suppressing the immune system.
