Renodapt S 360 is a prescription tablet containing mycophenolate sodium 360 mg, used mainly to prevent organ rejection after kidney, heart, or liver transplant. It works by suppressing the immune system, so the body does not attack the new organ.
How Renodapt S 360 works
After transplantation, the immune system recognizes the new organ as “foreign.” Mycophenolate blocks certain white blood cells from multiplying, reducing the immune response that causes organ rejection. It works selectively on immune cells without affecting other body cells extensively.
Because of its immunosuppressive effect, patients on Renodapt S 360 are at higher risk of infections, so hygiene and regular monitoring are important.
