How Cellcept 1 gm suspension Works?

​Cellcept 1 gm suspension works as an immunosuppressant by inhibiting the growth of T-cells and B-cells, both of which are types of white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune response. This drug interferes with the activity of an enzyme called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is essential for the production of guanosine nucleotides needed for T and B cell proliferation. By suppressing the immune system, it reduces the likelihood that the transplanted organ will be attacked and rejected. However, it also increases susceptibility to infection and other complications. Therefore, Cellcept 1 gm is usually prescribed in combination with other immunosuppressive drugs to reduce the risk of organ rejection while minimising the occurrence of side effects.​
