Tương tác
Mycophenolate mofetil may increase plasma concentration of aciclovir. Reduced absorption with antacids, polycarbophil calcium, sevelamer, colestyramine. Reduced MPA exposure with ciclosporin, antibiotics (e.g. aminoglycosides, cephalosporin, fluroquinolone, penicillins). Increased MPA exposure with isavuconazole, telmisartan. May reduce the efficacy of live attenuated vaccines.
Tương tác với thức ăn
Food reduces MPA peak serum levels by 40% and 33% following mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolate sodium administration, respectively.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Mycophenolic acid suppresses the proliferation of both T and B lymphocytes and antibody formation by inhibiting inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, resulting in depletion of guanosine nucleotide which is necessary for de novo purine synthesis in lymphocytes. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Mycophenolate mofetil/mycophenolate Na: Rapidly and extensively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Distribution: Plasma protein binding: MPA: 97%. Metabolism: Mycophenolate is metabolised pre-systemically into active mycophenolic acid (MPA), which undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. MPA is further metabolised via glucuronidation to inactive mycophenolic acid glucuronide. Excretion: Mycophenolate: Via urine (as glucuronide and negligible amount of MPA); faeces (6%). Half-life of MPA: 17.9 hours (as oral mycophenolate mofetil); 16.6 hours (as IV mycophenolate mofetil); 12 hours (as mycophenolate Na).
