Mycophenolic acid lowers your body's immune system. The immune system helps your body
fight infections. The immune system can also fight or "reject" a transplanted organ such as a liver or
kidney. This is because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.
Mycophenolic acid is used to prevent your body from rejecting a kidney transplant. This
medication is usually given with cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) and a steroid medication.
Mycophenolic acid may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
