If you have received a kidney transplant, you will likely need to take medication for the rest of your life to keep your body from rejecting the newly transplanted kidney.
Myfortic® (
mycophenolate sodium) is one such anti-rejection drug. It is taken twice a day and is sold as extended-release tablets available in two strengths.
For most adults, the recommended dosage is 1440 mg of Myfortic a day (taken as 720 mg twice a day). For children, the dosage will be based on the child's height and weight, and will typically be between 1080 mg and 1440 mg of Myfortic a day.
(Click Myfortic Dosage for more information on when and how to take this drug and its safety and effectiveness in both children and older adults.)
