About Vidamytil-500 Tablet 10's
Vidamytil-500 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of drugs called immunosuppressants. These drugs are used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ such as a liver, kidney, or heart. Organ rejection occurs when a patient’s immune system recognises the donor organ as foreign and tries to eliminate it.
Vidamytil-500 Tablet 10's contains Mycophenolic acid, which decreases the production of white blood cells that usually attack foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. As a result, it prevents organ rejection in transplanted patients and helps the body accept the new organ.
Common side effects of Vidamytil-500 Tablet 10's may include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, high blood pressure, or swelling of the lower legs, feet, and ankles. Most of these side effects of Vidamytil-500 Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to medicines or food products. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to inform your doctor before taking Vidamytil-500 Tablet 10's.
