Myplat Tablet is an immunosuppressant used to prevent organ rejection after a transplant. It works by weakening the body's immune system, so it does not attack the transplanted organ.

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.
