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.
