Mycept-S 360 Tablet belongs to the immunosuppressant class of medications. It is prescribed in conjunction with other medicines to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ, such as a kidney, heart or liver. This medicine works by weakening the body's immune system, thereby preventing it from attacking the new organ. The dosage of Mycept-S 360 Tablet varies depending on the type of transplant. It should be swallowed whole, without crushing, chewing, breaking or opening and can be taken with or without food, preferably at a fixed time each day. Consistent use is crucial to prevent organ rejection and treatment continues for as long as necessary.
