How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Mycophenolate mofetil). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is absorbed following oral administration and hydrolyzed to mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active metabolite.
MPA is a selective uncompetitive inhibitor of the two isoforms (type I and type II) of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) leading to inhibition of the de novo pathway of guanosine nucleotide synthesis and blocks DNA synthesis.
MPA is metabolized principally by glucuronyl transferase to form MPAG, which is not pharmacologically active.
Negligible amount of drug is excreted as MPA (less than 1% of dose) in the urine.
Effect of Food Food (27 g fat, 650 calories) had no effect on the extent of absorption (MPA AUC) of MMF when administered at doses of 1.5 g twice daily to kidney transplant patients.
