Ponophen-S 360 Tablet DR is used to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ such as a kidney, heart or liver. Transplant rejection occurs when the recipient’s immune system identifies the transplanted organ as a ‘foreign object’ and attacks it. If it is not treated promptly, it may cause irreversible damage.

It inhibits T and B lymphocytes (white blood cells that attack foreign cells) and suppresses antibody production. These effects suppress the immune system so that the transplanted graft is not rejected.
