Mycophenolate Mofetil<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Mycophenolate (brand names: Cellcept, Myfortic) is a medicine that lowers the body\u2019s natural immunity. The immune system response is thought to be involved in nephrotic syndrome. This medicine is prescribed if there are too many relapses of nephrotic syndrome.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Why is Mycophenolate Mofetil Needed for Rare Kidney Disease Patients?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A doctor may recommend mycophenolate if nephrotic syndrome doesn\u2019t get better with steroid treatment or if it keeps coming back. This medicine has shown to reduce relapse rate and steroid dose in people with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome. It may take several weeks for mycophenolate to make a difference in your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n

How is Mycophenolate Mofetil dministered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mycophenolate comes in a capsule, tablet, or liquid form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the liquid form is taken you should measure the correct amount using an oral syringe or medicine spoon (you can get these from your pharmacist). Do not use a kitchen teaspoon because you will not be able to measure out the correct amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take mycophenolate at the same time every day. Doses should be at least 12 hours apart. Pick times that are easy for you so that you do not miss a dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should consult your doctor before you stop taking this medicine or before you change the amount for any reason. You may become ill if you stop taking this medicine suddenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking mycophenolate with food may help to lessen stomach cramping and diarrhea. Food affects how the body absorbs mycophenolate. To keep the blood levels of mycophenolate the same, you should always take it the same way, either with food or without food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
