Cellcept 500 mg Tablet is a high-quality product manufactured under strict quality control standards. Please consult with healthcare professional for specific information.
The main concern associated with organ transplantation (including a kidney transplant) is rejection of the newly transplanted organ by the hostβs immune system. To prevent this response, Cellcept 500 mg tablet is administered, which suppresses the immune system and allows the organ to be successfully connected to the hostβs system.
SES is an autoimmune disorder where the hostβs immune system identifies its own tissues as foreign and responds against the βselfβ tissues. In case of lupus nephritis, the immune system attacks the nephrons in the kidney, which leads to swelling, inflammation, and overall damage to filtering units. Cellcept 500 mg tablet is used to suppress the abnormally active immune system and preserve the kidney (or organ) function in SES.
Rheumatoid arthritis is also an autoimmune condition where the immune system targets the joints. This results in synovial inflammation, pain, swelling, and eventual joint destruction. When Cellcept 500 mg tablet is administered for this condition, it suppresses the excess immune activity, which relieves the above-mentioned symptoms.

Organ transplant procedures and autoimmune disorders are characterized by a hyperactive immune response. In the case of organ transplantation, the new organ may be perceived as a foreign body by the immune system. As a result, the immune system attacks the organ, resulting in inflammation and damage.
In autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, the bodyβs immune system attacks its own tissue, resulting in chronic inflammation and damage to tissues or organs.
Cellcept 500 mg tablet inhibits the enzyme inosine selectively inhibits the enzyme monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). IMPDH is an essential enzyme involved in the synthesis of guanine nucleotides, which helps in the synthesis of T and B cells (immune cells).
By inhibiting this enzyme, Cellcept 500 mg tablet prevents the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. In this way, Cellcept 500 mg tablet significantly reduces the production of antibodies and inflammation arising from this process, thus preventing the rejection of transplanted organs and controlling inappropriate immune responses to normal tissues of the body.
