cellcept

Avatar n tn I'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.
Avatar n tn 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!!!!
Avatar f tn The doctor says he proposes to take my mother off CellCept altogether at some point in time and only PanGraaf will be needed for the whole life - in the meantime the doctor may prescribe CellCept in on / off basis.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn Your message caught my eye as it involves your 14-year-old son, and I'm on this site looking for answers re: my 14-year-old daugher. At any rate, I'm certainly no expert--I'd never even heard of ITP til I read your note. But here's a link I thought rather helpful: http://childrenscbf.org/medical/whatsitcalled.html?gclid=CLvJ9La2rpUCFRYLIgodkX7_aw#whatITP Maybe it'll ease your mind somewhat.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn when you say adding some cellcept might be a good idea,does that include trying to lower my prograf some?
545538 tn?1295992017 I thought maybe this was the reason I was diagnosed with ITP to begin with since ITP is only diagnosed by exclusion. But when I called my hemotologist and asked if I was tested for C when I was going through the exclusion for ITP he said "No, because the sonogram and MRI showed the liver was fine." This was two years ago. So I'm thinking that I probably had C already.
Avatar n tn She did clear the virus and has had negative RNA since. In June, 2008 she developed ITP which is Immune Thormbocytopenia. It is an auto-immune disorder where her body is destroying its platelets. I know there can be a relationship between Hep C & ITP, but her doctor didn't think there would be a connection almost 9 years after treatment.
Avatar n tn It's FDA approved for use in patients who have ITP (IdiophaticTrombocytopenia Purpura) only. The doctors who prescribe it have to register the patient in a program called "Promacta Cares" so that the FDA can keep track of the patients. There is a recent study that showed that many Hep C patient have ITP. Perhaps you can use it to get your doctor to prescribe it for you.
Avatar m tn HCV-Infected Individuals at Increased Risk for Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Eurona Earl Tilley February 26, 2009 — The incidence of 2 severe autoimmune cytopenias — immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) — has been shown to be elevated among individuals infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Avatar n tn I have had ITP and it is in remission. I want to have the hair on my top lip removed by lazer. Will this present risk to my health and starting up the ITP again or the bleeding that goes along with ITP?
Avatar n tn First off ITP in children is usually an acute situation followed by a virus. This ITP is cureable. Now chronic ITP happens to adults. It is for sure an autoimmune disorder which I am sure you know that the platelets are killed off before maturing thus leading to severe bleeding problems if the platelets are too low. I myslef have it and have very very heavy periods and very painful ones at that. I bruise easily and when I take NSAID like Advil I bruise even easier and platelets drop.

Avatar n tn Could you tell me what keeps his platelets in such good shape? Does he take some effective drugs for ITP? Or ITP simply comes and goes, and he has normal platelets in between?
Avatar n tn i think the Dr wants to start, cellcept and eliminate diazapam nd steroids....after having such relief finally,after so long.. I am afraid.Also of the side effects of cellcept and having massive pain returned. But which side effects are going to be worse? Preds or cellcept. I will research and let you know,. There are other drugs, but with heart and clogged arteries, i am not a candidate... Hang in there. Advil helps. Tons of it, Percocet if you can find a Dr who will write it,.....
Avatar f tn When that happens, the doctor increases PanGraf / Cellcept dosage and a particular steroid (wysolone). After that the enzymes go back to normal - except GGT which goes down but still remains well above normal (say, falls from 1800 to 300).
Avatar m tn 5mg and tenofovir 300mg) and prograf, cellcept wysolone etc. Two months back entacavir was withdrawn and I am now treated with tenofovir, prograf(6mg), cellcept(1000mg) and Magnesium suppliment. Almost at the same time( 2months back) I suffered from maleria also. Since then SGOT and SGPT are gradually rising from normal level, and they are now 69 and 46 level( normal range is 4) and rose to 3.2 almost one month back but it goes down to 2.3 now. What could be reason?
545538 tn?1295992017 I was diagnosed with ITP (platelet disorder) 4 years ago. I was diagnosed with HVC this summer and started txt 1 month ago. I just got 2nd week blood results back and my platetes are 117, which are higher than they have been since I've been tested over 4 years ago. I was always in the 40-50s range except when I had gamma globulin infusions in order to have high enough plateletes for a biopsy. Has anyone else had their plateletes rise during tx?
