Why has my doctor given me Mofris 500 Tablet after I have had a kidney transplant?
Mofris 500 Tablet is an immunosuppressant. It helps your body accept the donor's kidney by suppressing or weakening your immune system to prevent rejection. This allows for better organ acceptance and function.
Is Mofris 500 Tablet a steroid or chemotherapy medicine? Can it cause hair loss?
Mofris 500 Tablet is neither a steroid nor a chemotherapy medicine. It is an immunosuppressant, and can lead to hair loss as a side effect.
Do I need any special tests while taking Mofris 500 Tablet?
Since Mofris 500 Tablet may affect blood count, kidneys, and liver, your doctor will likely recommend pre-treatment blood tests. Regular follow-up blood tests will be needed to monitor for changes in the blood and evaluate potential side effects.
My doctor has asked me to stay away from a person who has chickenpox or shingles. Why?
Mofris 500 Tablet is an immunosuppressant, which means it weakens the immune system. You could potentially contract chickenpox or shingles if exposed to someone with these conditions when your immune system is already compromised.
What precautions should a female follow while taking Mofris 500 Tablet?
Do not take Mofris 500 Tablet if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. There's a high risk of miscarriage (pregnancy loss) in the first three months and birth defects may occur during early pregnancy. Use two reliable forms of contraception for at least four weeks before starting treatment, during treatment, and for six weeks after stopping Mofris 500 Tablet. This combination will be more effective than using only one form of birth control.
What precautions should a male follow while taking Mofris 500 Tablet?
It is recommended that either the man or his partner use reliable contraception during treatment and for 90 days after completion. Men should also avoid donating semen for at least 90 days following cessation of Mofris 500 Tablet.
