• Generic Name: mycophenolate mofetil

Mycophenolate mofetil weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

Mycophenolate mofetil is used with other medicines to prevent organ rejection after a kidney, liver, or heart transplant.

Mycophenolate mofetil may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
