ABSTRACT

Background: Mycophenolate, an immunosuppressive agent choice. It is used readily in the transplantation of kidneys.

Aim: To find out utilization of this drug is considered safe but the exact dosage of this drug varies according to the choice.

Methods: It alters from fixed-dose to the dose optimization to the drug exposure target. It is the area under the concentration and time curve graph. This graph gives inconsistent results of concentration-controlled dosing in prospective studies. In this research paper, the evidence helping mycophenolate has been analyzed. The research includes finding out the pharmacological features, toxicities, and efficacy of this chemical ingredient. Randomized controlled trials along with dose optimization procedure and exposure have also been achieved.

Results: A fixed dose of mycophenolate continuously leads to either less exposure associated with unapproved strategy or over-exposure leading to toxicity. When concentration controlled dosing is measured via pharmacokinetic measurement to target concentration intervention, mycophenolate exposure is controlled successfully and clinical benefits are visible.

There is a need for agreement on practical aspects of drug-target concentration intervention in normal tacrolimus containing dosage and research to find maintenance phase subjection targets.

Conclusion: More preference should be given to the effects of over suppression and under suppression in transplantation of kidney affecting short term as well as long term benefits. A single dose should be given to the mycophenolate target concentration intervention.

Keywords: Mycophenolate, immunosuppressive agent, kidney transplant, target dose intervention
