Myfenax Dosage/Direction for Use

Always take Myfenax exactly as told by the doctor. Check with the doctor or pharmacist if unsure. The usual way to take Myfenax is as follows.
Kidney Transplant: Adults: The first dose will be given within 72 hours after the transplant operation. The recommended daily dose is 4 tablets (2 g of the active ingredient) taken as 2 separate doses. This means taking 2 tablets in the morning, then 2 tablets in the evening.
Children (aged 2 to 18 years): The dose given will vary depending on the size of the child. The doctor will decide the most appropriate dose based on body surface area (height and weight). The recommended dose is 600 mg/m² taken twice daily.
Heart Transplant: Adults: The first dose will be given within 5 days following the transplant operation. The recommended daily dose is 6 tablets (3 g of the active ingredient) taken as 2 separate doses. This means taking 3 tablets in the morning, then 3 tablets in the evening.
Children (aged 2 to 18 years): No data are available to recommend the use of Myfenax in children who have received a heart transplant.
Liver Transplant: Adults: The first dose of Myfenax will be given at least 4 days after the transplant operation and when able to swallow oral medicines. The recommended daily dose is 6 tablets (3 g of the active ingredient) taken as 2 separate doses. This means taking 3 tablets in the morning and 3 tablets in the evening.
Children (aged 2 to 18 years): No data are available to recommend the use of Myfenax in children who have received a liver transplant.
Method and route of administration: Swallow tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not break or crush them and do not take any tablets that have broken open or split. Avoid contact with any powder that spills out from damaged tablets. If a tablet breaks open accidentally, wash any powder from the skin with soap and water. If any powder gets into the eyes or mouth, rinse thoroughly with plenty of plain fresh water.
Treatment will continue for as long as immunosuppression is needed to prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted organ.
Forgotten intake of Myfenax: If forgotten to take the medicine at any time, take it as soon as it is remembered, then continue to take it at the usual times. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
Stopping intake of Myfenax: Do not stop taking Myfenax because of feeling better. It is important to take the medicine for as long as the doctor has told to. Stopping treatment with Myfenax may increase the chance of rejection of the transplanted organ. Do not stop taking the medicine unless the doctor tells to.
