Mode of Action of Mmf 500 MG
How Does It Work?
When our body encounters a foreign substance (bacteria, virus, fungus, transplanted organs or grafts), immune system attacks it to protect the body. Normally this defense mechanism helps us, but in cases of organ transplant, the transplanted organ is also identified as a foreign body by our immunity and is attacked by it. Mmf Tablet is given to such patients as it supresses the immune response and prevents rejection of a kidney, liver or heart transplant or graft.
