Mycophenolate Mofetil for Oral Suspension is classified as an immunosuppressant medication. It is commonly used post-transplant in conjunction with other medicines to deter the body from rejecting a newly transplanted organ such as a kidney, heart, or liver. The drug works by suppressing the body’s immune response to ensure it accepts the new organ.
