Common Questions and Answers about Cellcept for mg
cellcept
The doctor - does he suspect virus infection, I am not sure - prescribed a blood test, result of which comes out after a week or so. Is this situation - TLC at 2.8 for two weeks now despite CellCept being reduced to Nil mg - is so serious a problem as to cause worry? I am not sure how serious is this is - I am not doctor.
My Dr is trying to lower me off of the prednisone all together and just stay on the cellcept. I was on 10 mg of pred 4 weeks ago, down to 7.5 mg 2 weeks ago and just got reduced to 5 mg. My numbers are staying in great shape, but I am still holding steady on the cellcept. I have been battling AIH for a year and a half. Nothing has worked w/the prednisone accept for cellcept. Since then my numbers have been great. The ast and alt are 19. They were in the 1700's...
I am considering just staying on Prednizone for a little while longer and getting pregnant, and then going on cellcept. I have been on cellcept one week tomorrow, and think it would not be too late to discontinue (after talking to my doctor again) since I am also still on 40mg of prednizone every day. Do you have any opinions about cellcept and pregnancy?
I take Cellcept and only Cellcept. I've been on it now for over a month. My MS doctor prescribed it for my PPMS since there's really no treatment for PPMS. I haven't had any side effects from it. When I first started on it, I did get some headaches but nothing I couldn't handle. In my case, I take it to hopefully slow down the progression of my particular form of this disease.
Let me know if I can answer any questions.
I was on cellcept for 4 months, prednisone for 8 and only prograf after that.
Ask your doctor why you are still taking cellcept.
My hepatologist told me before my transplant that I would be on celllcept from 3-12 months. Too many doctors keep post tp patients on these meds for too long, in my opinion.
Good luck and yes, quality of life is important.
I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritus IV , my doctor had me do a 3 day IV treatment of 1g solu Medrol , each, that was a week ago. I was already on prednisone 60 mg a day and right before the treatment Cellcept was added. I am feeling like I got hit by bus ! I read elsewhere that most of my current issues are withdrawal from the Solu Medrol . I was wondering if anyone else has had this treatment and how long it took to feel" normal" ?
Anyone on cellcept having back pain? I've been having back pain for a couple of weeks now, wake up earlier and earlier in the morning with my back aching and when I move it I get these stabbing pains. It all goes away when I get up, and I've managed to sleep a bit in the morning in a half-seated position, so it's really related to lying down.
I just read someplace that cellcept can cause back pain, but I haven't been able to find any info on what kind of pain. Could this be it?

Drug side effects?
don't know exactly what AIH is, but have been on CellCept for about 4 years. just eat 6 small meals a day, exercise as regularly as you can, get as much rest as you need. worrying about the weight will actually make it worse. been fighting this battle almost 20 years myself. when I cannot get out or walk, moving my extremities in a chair burns calories, etc. something's better than nothing... keep up the good work.
5mg Prograf bid, Rapamune 3 mg daily, 15 mg prednisone, Cellcept 500 mg qid. The nausea and vomiting has been very hard for him to deal with, and my guess is that increasing the immunosuppression will only worsen those symptoms.
The most recent ERCP done last week showed a 6mm discrepancy between the donor and recipient bile ducts with an impression of primary vs secondary sclerosing cholangitis.
when you say adding some cellcept might be a good idea,does that include trying to lower my prograf some?
I am prednisone dependent for 20 years (10 mg daily) After dinner I seem to get terribly bloated. No matter what I seem to eat I get this terrible movement that you can see and feel, it is like when you are pregnant and the baby is moving (this is the best way to explain it). Sometimes the pain is worse on the right, but then it moves left (I do have diviticulitis & hiatal hernia(no problem here I stay away from seeds and spicy foods). I do suffer from RA for over 20 years.
And for Brent and the others asking questions here is the story. My husband had a liver transplant March 2007. When we found out he had hepc he was too sick to treat. The Hep c starting attacking the new liver 4 months after the transplant. The doctors kept him on interferon shots 0.5mcg and 800 mg ribavarin for 18 months. Usually they say 12 months but since he is a transplant patient they will keep him 18 months on a lower dose. After the 18 months he is considered a nonresponder.
