Introduction
Immutil-S 360 Tablet DR is an immunosuppressant used to prevent rejection of an organ (such as a kidney, heart, or liver) after a transplant. It works by weakening your body's immune system, so it does not attack the transplanted organ. The amount of Immutil-S 360 Tablet DR you take depends on the type of transplant you have. Follow your doctor's instructions on this. This medicine may be taken with or without food. Swallow it as a whole, do not crush, chew, break, or open them. Take the medicine regularly to get the most benefit and keep taking it even if you feel well. If you stop taking it, you may increase the chances of rejecting your transplanted organ. The treatment will continue for as long as you need it to prevent rejection.
