Is is safe to take Mycophenolate 500mg for nephrotic syndrome?
Patient: I have nephrotic syndrome, and my doctor has me taking mycophenolate 500mg 2 times daily, and I want to know if it is alright to use products like sunflower lecithin and relishi liver guard herb tea. Or will either cause a reaction because of my disease and medications. Doctor: Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.Mycophenolic acid  is an immunosuppressant drug used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. It inhibits an enzyme needed for the growth of T cells and B cellsMycophenolate mofetil is metabolised in the liver to the active moiety mycophenolic acid. It reversibly inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, the enzyme that controls the rate of synthesis of guanine monophosphate in the de novo pathway of purine synthesis used in the proliferation of B and T lymphocytes.It is definitely used for nephrotic syndrome.AVoid the sunflower lecithin .Herb tea can be taken safely.Hope this answers your question.
