MYFORTIC 360MG TAB 120s
MYFORTIC® 360mg Gastro-Resistant Tablets contain Mycophenolate Sodium 360mg and are marketed by Novartis Pharma Pakistan. Mycophenolate Sodium is an immunosuppressant used in combination with other medicines such as cyclosporine and corticosteroids to help prevent organ rejection following kidney transplantation. The gastro-resistant (enteric-coated) formulation allows the medicine to dissolve in the intestine, helping reduce stomach irritation while providing effective immunosuppression. MYFORTIC should only be used under the close supervision of a transplant specialist.
