cellcept in india

My mother had liver transplant two and half months back here in Delhi, India. Till two weeks back she was on PanGraaf 4mg, Wysolone (steroid) 15mg and CellCept 1000 mg a day. At that time (i.e. two weeks back) her blood result showed that her TLC has slipped to below normal (which is minimum 4) and was showing as 2.8. Her Haemoglobin seems to have settled around 11.2. All other results including Blood, LFT, Creatine etc show normal.

my doctors have reduced my cellcept in half. 1000 mg 2x day to 500 mg 2x day. they said my symptoms are common and reducing the cellcept should help. any comment?

I had a breakthrough with Avonex so my dr. recommended adding cellcept to the avonex shots. If so can you tell me how you have done with cellcept. Thanks!!!!

m a patient with autoimmune hepatitis type II, and my doctor has just perscribed cellcept in an attempt to reduce or stop use of prednizone. It is really important to me to try and have a child, but I'm afraid if I start cellcept that I shouldn't get pregnant. I know cellcept is a class D drug, and discussed my concern with my doctor.

I can sort of answer your first question. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Cellcept has been extensively researched for its use in myasthenia gravis. Also, it carries a FDA black box warning that it may increase your chances of infection, lymphoma and congenital malformations (for pregnant women). Also, its optimal dose is yet undecided. Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) is the usual first line treatment for MG.

I have MS and have an injection of Avonex once a week. I had a flare up in Oct. that affected my legs so my Dr. just prescribed Cellcept. I filled the prescription yesterday and was scared to death after reading the literature on it. What is PPMS? I will be interested in seeing if anyone has used this medication too. Sunnyb.

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?

Okay hears the deal I was put on prednison when I was 17yrs old along with imuran, now i know the effects of prednison obviouly, it being a steroid there usually are some weight gain and moon face etc as common side effects. Now I'm 19yrs old and they have me on cellcept. I have always been extremely active even to due to my fatigue but I cannot loose a pound, I will work out 24-7 and change my diets often to see if anything changes and...nothing.

when you say adding some cellcept might be a good idea,does that include trying to lower my prograf some?

s side effects. In fact, I know very little about cellcept at all. I hope someone here can help. Have you talked to your neuro about these problems and asked about alternative drugs for you to try? I hope you come through again and chat more with us here.

is this disease going to take my life in the next few years or am I headed for a lung transplant. Was diagnosed in July with this from The Mayo Clinic in Scotsdale, AZ and fron St Luke's Medical Center in Houston TX..I have a great team of doctors. Pulmo, Rheumy, Cardio, Sleep Apnea, Infectious Disease, Etc. They are saying this form is extremely rare as it is connective tissue variety and may be related to Sjogren's.

I am on 2000mg daily (which is considered a high dosage) and have only gotten mildly sick once in those 2 years. At that time my PC just had me stop the CellCept while taking an antibiotic for 2 weeks and I was all better. Of course I don't have any kids running around so I'm not exposed to a lot of illnesses.

I was just diagnosed with it.

My 6 yrs.old son has undergone liver transplantation on 27/10/2009 in Delhi,India. I am his father,donate part of my liver to my beloved son.After 40 days of hospitalisation he was discharged from hospital.Then after ten days my son lost his total memory.He could not even recognise us (parents ).He could not even tell about passing motion /urine.So we had to admit our son 2nd time in hospital.

Who prescribes the CellCept for you? The prescribing physician HAS to make a way for you to be monitored aggressively & appropriately. Easy for me to say. Is the VA prescribing the CellCept? How do their transplant patients get access to a dr. who is on top of their game with this powerful medication?

I was diagnosed by open lung bx in 2001, I suffered ans was treated with plaquenil and methotrexate, after a while on steroids. seemed to get better, then the last year treated with a lot of respiratory problems, pneumonia and different types of flu. I am worried I feel worse than before, my labs show another onset after all this time. But also with raised lft's, and indicators do heart issues, my question is does cellcept work as well? does morbidity go up the second time around?

My husband had autoimmune hepatitis and had liver transplant in March of 2003, he is doing well however, he stopped taking his meds 3 months ago because the meds is very expensive as he say, now he went back to take his meds that is Cellcept and Prograf . He now is feeling pain on his left side of his belly and it is really like distended and hard.and very warm to touch. His belly like shifted to the left ever since he had the surgery.

Although metastasis and death from these cancers are uncommon in the general population, they can be fatal in the transplant population. All post transplant patients should be alert to the early detection of cancer. This can be helped by monthly breast, testicular and skin self examination and routine medical check-ups. PAP smears, breast exams, testicular exams, and skin cancer screening should be done by your physician every year. Other general measures should also be taken.

Had my latest appt with Dr. P at the MS clinic today and am feeling pretty good about how things went. But as usual there were questions I didn't thing to ask him about. Last week I had a MRI w/wo contrast, MRA, and VEP tests done. Of course it took forever to get them lined up due to the VA. The MRI & MRA were done at the VA while the VEP was done at Vanderbilt.

s Hospital yesterday and was told by the doctor that I have Primary Progressive MS. She gave me 3 prescriptions - one for Cellcept to slow the progress, one for PT and the third for a scooter. That last one got me teary. I thought I was years away from that but now see that it is for the best. It will give me what I need to go out more. Also had to get the H1N1 vaccine and the pneumonia vaccine because she said Cellcept suppresses the immune system. Not sure there's much more to say.

Pegasys/Rivavirin treatment doesn't necessarily mean you stop cellcept. I'm a case in point. In my case, I just had to reduce the interferon dosage.... but everyone is different.

additional agents such as mycophenolate (cellcept) may be necessary or in cases of severe rejection a medication such as thymoglobulin may be needed.

After 6 months she was totally weened off of Prednisone and will continue Cellcept until her one year mark and get another Renal Biopsy done in April.....I would love to know about more parents that have had children that gave suffered with this horrible virus that has left my daughter scarred physically and emotionally for life. I do not wish this on any innocent child!
