GlossaryMycophenolate Mofetil

immunosuppressive drug used to prevent organ transplant rejection

Mycophenolate Mofetil, often known as CellCept, is an immunosuppressive medication commonly used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. It works by inhibiting the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, which are crucial components of the immune response, thereby reducing the likelihood of the body attacking the transplanted organ.
