How does Renodapt 500mg Tablet work?

Mycophenolate mofetil, a prodrug, is metabolised in the body to mycophenolic acid (MPA). MPA inhibits the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is necessary for T- and B-lymphocyte proliferation. It suppresses these cells and so reduces the immunological response that can target transplanted organs.
