Tab Suprimun 500mg Tablet

Tab Suprimun 500mg Tablet contains Mycophenolate 500mg, an immunosuppressant. Made by Allmed Labs, it is prescribed for prevention of organ transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases and lupus nephritis. Pack size: 50s tablet.

Uses of Tab Suprimun 500mg Tablet

Tab Suprimun 500mg Tablet is used together with other medicines, such as ciclosporin or tacrolimus and steroids, to stop the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney, liver or heart. Specialists also prescribe it for some autoimmune conditions, including lupus affecting the kidneys, vasculitis and certain inflammatory skin, liver and muscle diseases, often to reduce the need for long-term steroids.

How Tab Suprimun 500mg Tablet works

Mycophenolate blocks an enzyme that lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, need in order to make DNA and multiply. Because these immune cells cannot expand in number, the immune system is less able to attack a transplanted organ or the body’s own tissues.

Possible side effects

Stomach and bowel upset are the most frequent complaints with Tab Suprimun 500mg Tablet, and others include:

• Diarrhoea
• Nausea or vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Low blood counts
• More frequent infections

Contact your doctor at once if you have a fever, sore throat or other signs of infection, unexplained bruising or bleeding, severe diarrhoea, or new skin changes or lumps.

Precautions and warnings

• Mycophenolate can cause miscarriage and serious birth defects, so women need pregnancy tests and must use reliable contraception before, during and for a period after treatment, as advised by the doctor.
• Men taking it should use condoms during treatment and for a period after stopping, as advised by the doctor.
• Regular blood tests are needed to check your blood counts and how well the treatment is working.
• Because it weakens the immune system, avoid live vaccines, stay away from people with chickenpox or shingles, and protect your skin from the sun, as the risk of skin cancer is increased.
• Do not breastfeed while taking it, and tell your doctor or pharmacist about all other medicines, including antacids, which can reduce its absorption.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
